SuperAdobe Earth Domes & Earthflow Playscapes by Small Earth

Small Earth design and build rammed earth structures using technology devised by Iranian Cal-Earth architect Nader Khalili. Known as SuperAdobe this form of building allows for the creation of earth domes which are environmentally friendly, ecologically sound, versatile, affordable, flood, fire and earthquake resistant with brilliant sound and thermal insulation.

Small Earth provides supportive and sustainable environments for communities around the world through the creative use of elemental materials and the application of Permaculture inspired thinking.

From conception to delivery our projects leave a legacy of landmark buildings beautifully integrated into sustainable and productive landscaped spaces.
