The California property looks like the love child of Star Wars and The Flintstones and was built using long sandbags of earth excavated from the site. Its structure is based on a design by the late architect Nader Khalili, who pioneered this form of earthbag construction called SuperAdobe.

© Alison Brooks Timber is a natural, renewable material, easy to fabricate, and with low-carbon emissions. As a construction material, however, when put under enough directional force along its grain, sawn timber is structurally unstable, so deemed unsuitable under higher loads. In comparison, the manufacture of cross-laminated timber (CLT) involves simply gluing multiple layers of timber together at right angles.
