Round Window




















The layering in these walls show up so nice in the light. The round window is sweet, would you agree?

Springs Preserve






























This is the Springs Preserve in Nevada in Las Vegas. The preserve museums, gardens, walking paths and restored structures that recreate the story of Las Vegas' past. I think their future is looking a lot brighter than their past architecturally speaking.

Perth house















This house was for sale in Perth, Australia. If I didn't live in the U.S. I would buy it...I guess if I had the money I would just build one here.

Nice lift lines




















Rick Joy uses the contemporary approach. If you have a nice rammed earth wall outside, you may want to make the side of your house all glass so you can fully appreciate it.

More from Australia

































As I said last post they get it . These pics are from Rammed Earth Constructions.

Australia- where they get it!











































The Aussie's are lucky, why you say? It's because they have to build with rammed earth or else the sun will cook them to death. In case you did't know rammed earth keeps you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter because of the thick walls. These houses are from Ramco Perth in Australia

Rammed earth with insulation





























Insulation inside the walls is a good idea in Canada, this should make the house warmer than an igloo. The builders making this are Clifton Schooley and associates.
