earthbound d+c specialises in ecologically conscious, creative, residential building projects.
With a strong environmental emphasis, we incorporate many low impact techniques to improve the sustainable footprint of the built environment we create. Intuitively we endeavour to build into the site rather than impose. Often our projects appear to have grown from the surrounding environs, whilst maintaining their own separate identity. At all times, clients’ requirements are considered.
By giving attention to the expression of the construction materials and structures, we develop forms that delight the eye and the soul. Tactile experiences abound; textures and play of light develop a sense of being. Surfaces are manipulated and animated; soft curves and strong lines stroke the emotions.
Energy efficient and site-specific means careful assessment of orientation and aspect. Passive application of the sun’s warmth and cooling breezes enhance your living experience. Spatial relationships are explored to create a fluid experience of moving through living spaces to landscape.
Whilst open to all mediums, our team has expertise in earth building and the use of natural materials, including mudbrick, timber, strawbale, rammed and light earth techniques. Combining these materials with a strong emphasis on craft and detail further enhances the perceptions of home. Low toxic finishes and material choice develops unique and healthy homes, with instant patina.
