Adobe buildings

OUR SOLUTION

TechNOLOGY

‣ AI-driven cable robot

‣ Claw for material placement

‣ Hammer to form adobe walls, chimneys, and other systems

‣ Transported in a bumper-pull trailer

‣ Compatible with existing builder and sub-contractor workflows

OUR SOLUTION

ABUNDANT MATERIALS NEARING $0 COST

‣ Adobe has been a reliable building material for centuries

‣ Adobe is comprised of three abundant and accessible materials: clay, aggregate, and a binder

‣ Clay can often be sourced from the build site

‣ Extremely low financial and environmental costs

Products

Walls

‣ Non-toxic
‣ Durable; can last centuries
‣ Naturally sound- and fireproof
‣ Passive humidity regulation soothes airways
‣ Passive solar mass maintain comfortable temperature
‣ Mentally soothing organic style
‣ Can be imaginatively sculpted

Products

Buildings

Simplified wall assembly integrates structure, finishes, and insulation, eliminating extraneous materials and labor

Walls pair with common floor, ceiling, roof, and foundation types, and use standard connectors

Current capabilities:
‣ Approximately $200 per linear foot
‣ Meets or exceeds code requirements for compression, MOR, and R-value

KEY IDEAs

TECH

‣ Pick-and-place 3D printing

‣ AI pilot for adaptable automated construction

‣ Multiple tools on one robot (claw, hammer, etc.)

‣ Cable-driven platform scales to building site

‣ Entire rig transported with single utility trailer; easy to set up, tear down, and repair

KEY IDEAs

MATERIAL

‣ Three basic ingredients (clay, aggregate, binder) mixed into “cob”

‣ All natural and recyclable

‣ Abundant and available on-site or nearby; often treated as waste material (low financial cost)

‣ Drastically lower embodied CO2 than competing materials (low environmental cost)

AFFORDABILITY

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY HOUSE (permitted)

A project in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County to design an 1,100 sq. ft., single family, earthen house.

MULTIFAMILY

TOWNHOUSE (hypothetical)

Terran homes are naturally soundproof and fireproof,
which makes them great for multifamily living.
This is an example of a two story earthen townhouse.

projects

SINGLE FAMILY

DOG-TROT HOUSE (hypothetical)

Terran homes work well for any size project, such as this dog-trot house that combines single family living with a quasi-attached apartment.

projects

MULTIFAMILY

TOLOU (hypothetical)

Terran homes are naturally soundproof and fireproof,
which makes them great for multifamily living.
This is an example of a Tolou style multifamily building.

COMPLETED

- Bloomington city ADU partnership



UPCOMING

- Habitat for Humanity residence

- Whole Sun commercial office and warehouse

- Historic Maple Heights ADU
