NATURAL MATERIALS
We work with natural materials like stone, straw, and earth to create beautiful built creations and finishes. Nature graciously
shares her bountiful materials and we honour these materials in the building process. Humans have built with these materials for thousands of years and they have withstood the test of time in vernacular architecture worldwide.
Natural materials are lovely to work with because they are non-toxic and therefore we can feel safe when working with them and installing them for our clients. We want the world to be a healthy and safe place for all and making good materials choices is part of that endeavour.

NATURAL MATERIALS
We work with natural materials like straw, aggregate and earth to create beautiful built creations and finishes. Nature graciously shares her bountiful materials and we honour these materials in the building process. We make efforts to use and purchase what we need and nothing more.
Working with natural materials allows us to feel connected to nature and when we bring these materials to interior spaces we invite the feeling of nature indoors. The elegant, yet natural feeling of clay wall finishes or an earth floor is incomparable; it invites, envelopes and inspires.
Humans have built with these materials for thousands of years and they have withstood the test of time in vernacular architecture worldwide. With good design and care, these ancient materials can last a long time in our modern world.
HEALTHY choices
Health is important to us. Not just human health, but the health of our children, future generations and the health of the planet. When we choose to work with natural materials that means were are striving to select the healthiest option for our clients and ourselves.

beauty and well being
Beauty and art are prominent values of clay, bones and stones along with quality craftspersonship. The beauty of nature and the beauty our built environment elevates our spirit and brings us alive. Creating beautiful spaces is important to us because we believe it has a direct impact on how we feel and move through the world.
However, beauty doesn’t just exist in nature and the built environment it is also present in our actions, our communications and who are being in a moment. Clay, bones and stones strive to honour our values of beauty and well being in the broadest sense. We are committed to creating a more beautiful world for all.
