Standing seam is one of. our most popular roofs. Ours is built stronger than the competition to prevent unsightly oil-canning, strengthen, and enhance the overall design.

Our pioneer project, Casita de Tierra in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, showcases the natural building techniques of a rubble trench foundation, earthbag construction, natural plasters, earthen floors, and a composting toilet.
Our earthbag wall system consists of locally available, cost-efficient, polypropylene bags that are filled with a formula of clay and aggregate unearthed from our building site. The bags are stacked like bricks in running bonds, which are strengthened by courses of barbed wire laid between each row, and tamped into place. The walls are then plastered with a mix composed of clay, sand, soil and straw, and are followed by gypsum and lime renders to create attractive walls.
The casita exhibits a load-bearing wall system demonstrating that thick earthen walls, with no rebar or cement, can support a roofing structure. We, also, installed earthen floors, created an indoor dry-composting toilet system, utilized local woods for the furniture, routed all grey water to the outdoor garden, and maximized air flow by including cross-ventilating screened windows below the natural palm frond and cane roof.
Casita de Tierra exemplifies an economically efficient, structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, environmentally kind, and socially responsible home.

We started this floors transformation by counter-sinking nails, filling the nail holes and spaces between the boards to reduce squeeks and strengthen the floor before we sanded it down.

The structure of the house was strengthened with OSB and wrap. Between this, the James Hardie siding and the Marvin Windows, the house is very quiet now.

This project began as a design-build proposal to build an addition for an indoor swim spa and exercise room to a ranch style house. The Clients were seeking a functional and inviting space reminiscent of the luxury resorts and space they have visited during their international travels.
One of the biggest challenges was to fit the program within the site and buildable area constraints. In order to maximize floor area, the exterior walls of the addition were located parallel to the property lines along the required setbacks, which resulted in a non-orthagonal geometry in plan. The volume of the addition began to take shape with large floor to ceiling openings strengthening the connection to the outdoors with roof line that rises northward to capture daylight. A series of operable skylights ventilate the room and allow more daylight to penetrate into the adjacent existing den.
Inspired by modern additions made to historic structures in Europe, we made a conscious decision to not try to blend the addition into the language of the existing ranch house, choosing instead to juxtapose a structure that was layered and felt light next to the cement tile roof and framed picture windows. The interior walls were finished with a marine grade plywood to withstand a humid environment, and the exteriors were clad with a cedar rainscreen to give privacy where needed and gradually reduced to allow for more glass and visibility.
The Clients are immersed in the technological environment of Silicon Valley and appreciated the simple geometries and aesthetics of modern design.

A low corten steel retaining wall curves as grade wraps around the face of wall. The curvature of the wall is artistic but the curve strengthens the length of the wall. Corten steel is 3/8" thick and was rolled and brought to site in sections.

Perpendicular bracing is added to eliminate sway and horizontal movement. It also helps strengthen the connection of the corrugated roofing to the frame.

Plank exercises are one of the most effective ways to strengthen the core and improve posture. Beginners can start with simple plank variations to gradually build strength and endurance.
