Clay

Clay, a tactile and malleable material, is deeply connected to the earliest human endeavours, inspiring countless poems and stories over centuries. Its inherent qualities resonate in ways that modern materials like plasterboard cannot.

Beyond its cultural and aesthetic appeal, clay is abundant, inert, and endlessly reusable. Its natural properties make it an excellent choice for sustainable building. Clay finishes regulate humidity, absorb toxins and odours, and passively help to stabilise indoor temperatures, contributing to healthier living environments.

In our practice, we prioritise natural materials like clay to support both the health of individuals and the broader humanity of the spaces we create. By doing so, we honour tradition while advancing sustainable and human-centred design.
