O Tom da Terra

‘Tom Of The Earth’ and ‘Tone Of The Earth’, a double meaning in Portuguese, at the same time perfectly fitting to my passion. What brings me here is a fascination with the simplicity as well as the efficiency of applying ancient techniques in modern times. Whether you want a beautiful, warm, healthy clay or lime plaster, a tailor-made COB house, a COB kitchen with an oven and a stove, an earthen floor under your feet, or the infinite spiral shape of a reciprocal roof above your head, let’s talk. Working with materials and techniques that respond to your wishes, your land, the climate, and the needs of the building, I aim to create tailored solutions that contribute positively to both humanity and the natural world. In addition, I work with CruzinCobGlobal as an instructor, facilitating their 5-week intensive COB courses.
