What is Earth Block Construction? 

Earthen construction has stood the tests of time. Its beauty and robustness are still visible today in legendary buildings crafted over 1,000 years ago, from the Alhambra in Spain to the Great Wall of China. Today we’re proud to be a part of its modern comeback and to share this grounding, tranquil space with you. We hope to be one of many earth block buildings coming to life over upcoming years!

What is earthen construction, and why did we choose it?

We were delighted to host earthen construction wizard Jim Hallock, CEO of Earth Block International as we laid our first bricks for the Peaceful Waters Retreat Center. In the video below, Jim describes his journey to earthen construction and dives into its many important benefits that can lead us into a brighter future.

“Earth Block started as a quest for a non-toxic, environmentally safer way to build. It’s become my passion, my life’s mission — making the future out of the past.”
