Soil mixed to a flowing consistency with minimal stabiliser, then cast into formwork like concrete, but with clay, not cement, doing most of the binding. When the shuttering comes off, the raw cast texture is left exactly as it emerged: the surface is the finish.
Monolithic external walls, interior feature walls, boundary walls, and cast-in-place landscape elements. Poured earth is ideal for clients who love the look of exposed concrete without its carbon footprint (as at Amara).
Roughly 55–70% sand and aggregate, 10–20% silt, 10–15% clay, with a minimal 6–10% stabiliser for early strength; poured in 30–60 cm lifts and cured between pours.
A continuous, joint-free earthen mass that buffers heat and humidity like rammed earth; unpainted and vapour-open, it keeps interiors breathable, quiet, and chemically calm.
A fraction of concrete’s cement, faster to build than rammed earth, fire-resistant, and endlessly formable: curves, niches, and cast-in details straight from the shuttering.
