Rammed Earth Healthy Home
The Rammed Earth Healthy Home is just one of many award-winning environmentally sensitive residences designed and built by Terra Firma Builders.
Located on BC Gulf Islands, the home is super-insulated by two-foot thick, R33 walls of insulated and earthquake-stabilized rammed earth. The house also includes radiant in-floor heat, a heat recovery ventilator, energy-efficient appliances, low-e windows and dual-flush toilets. The design focused on optimizing occupant health with natural low-toxicity materials. “Extra-healthy” features comprise low electromagnetic wiring, geomagnetic coupling, fabric-formed footings and recycled rubber-tire roofing shingles.
