In just one visit you cut across 12 months of technical presentations, descriptions, and specifications by us which had been met with doubt, scepticism and interrogation on the part of the Client. The political decision maker and other members of the Client body were convinced there and then. …SIREWALL is of its time, but is timeless. It is a more appropriate and more solid form of construction, better adapted to climatic variation, comfort and low energy consumption. It responds to a desire for authenticity of local materials, colours and textures – and is a beautiful material.”
My belief is that SIREWALL is timeless and beautiful, the most sustainable wall system on the planet.
*SIREWALL is designated as a Living Product.

We consider SIREWALL to have extraordinary promise from both a design and sustainability perspective, and look forward to its broader adoption.”
Through your help, and guidance we were able to convince our clients that Rammed Earth was sustainably the correct material to use. Your research and work on this technology clearly made them understand that this material was low energy, durable and aesthetically unique. Your hands on field work and training of construction crews helped us overcome any issues of buildability and detailing which we may have had.”
We attribute our success with the Edmonton Valley Zoo as a result of your early involvement and our careful control of the specification during the bidding process.
This very strong yet entirely discreet cultural centre becomes a site museum – one which innovatively re-presents the locale’s desert earth in the form of an insulating rammed-earth wall. Although very large, the chameleon-like wall defines an ambiguous threshold between landscape and building and positions the partially buried auditorium and exhibition room with strategic orientation. These intimate spaces seem to be defined by a tamed earth and sky rather than walls and ceilings.
Learn in detail what is attracting architects like Foster & Partners and Gensler to this incredible structural wall system and how it may be the perfect fit for your next big project.
