Catalyst Architecture has been retained to design a 1,500 sq.ft. house for an artist couple on a wooded lot to the west of Prescott. Several alternative methods of construction have been considered, ranging from shipping containers to straw bale to rammed earth.
After participating in a workshop at the Cal-Earth Institute, the super adobe, or earth bag construction technique was finally selected, in part, due to its fire resistance and fluidity of design.
Stay tuned for updates on the design...
