Living roof · rammed earth
Earth-sheltered homes
Homes tucked into the hillside — bermed walls, wildflower roofs, and passive solar orientation. Grading and drainage designed so the roof and the ground are the same conversation.
Creative studies
Concept dwellings that live in the land.
A sketchbook of the kinds of builds we love engineering underneath — earth homes, adobe, and yes, hobbit holes. Every image is an AI-generated concept illustration, not a photo of a real project.
High-desert vernacular
Adobe & rammed-earth
Warm terracotta walls, viga beams, shaded portals. A modern take on Southwest vernacular that carries into Colorado's high desert without pretending to be somewhere else.
Whimsy · round doors · sod roofs
Hobbit hillside builds
A little more fantasy, still real engineering. Round-door hillside dwellings with proper drainage, retaining, and a green roof that actually sheds water instead of leaking through it.
