What is SIREWALL?

SIREWALL is an insulated, engineered sandstone wall, with the strength of concrete, that forms the basis of an attractive, high performance building structure and envelope.

What we're offering

We offer choice. The choice to build as though the future, the environment, and the wellbeing of humans matters.

Dare to imagine what could be—we’ll help you create it.

Our core values

We are unapologetically committed to Seventh Generation (200-year) thinking. These are the values that define us: Innovation, Durability, Beauty, Health & Deep Green. Discover how these shape our vision, our work and offerings.

What makes a good wall?

That depends on what you measure—and what you value.

Rethinking building
from First Principles

with SIREWALL 'Quality of Life' Metrics

Why did we create these metrics?

• Because status quo building accelerates the climate emergency through repetitive take-make-waste

• It is creating a building stock vulnerable to fire, flooding and extreme winds

And because improving a V8 will never make it an EV

These 15 Metrics offer a pathway to an enhanced quality of life, well into the climate changed future. 

Cost per square foot considers only yesterday’s weather and prioritizes floor area and superficial appeal— ignoring most of the metrics that affect quality and human experience.

We hope to inspire new, dynamic and relevant thinking about how to build, especially for people to thrive in an uncertain future.

PRAISE FOR SIREWALL

READ WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
  • This company is a virtuous powerhouse of ideals, integrity, innovation, and commitment to excellence.

    Sam Rodell
    Architect - SAM RODELL ARCHITECTS AIA
  • In just one visit you cut across 12 months of technical presentations, descriptions, and specifications by us which had been met with doubt, scepticism and interrogation on the part of the Client. The political decision maker and other members of the Client body were convinced there and then. …SIREWALL is of its time, but is timeless. It is a more appropriate and more solid form of construction, better adapted to climatic variation, comfort and low energy consumption. It responds to a desire for authenticity of local materials, colours and textures – and is a beautiful material.

    Hugh Stewart
    Partner, Foster + Partners
  • My belief is that SIREWALL is timeless and beautiful, the most sustainable wall system on the planet.

    Jason F. McLennan
    CREATOR OF THE LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE & CEO OF INTERNATIONAL LIVING FUTURE INSTITUTE & CASCADIA GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL
  • Through your help, and guidance we were able to convince our clients that Rammed Earth was sustainably the correct material to use. Your research and work on this technology clearly made them understand that this material was low energy, durable and aesthetically unique. Your hands on field work and training of construction crews helped us overcome any issues of buildability and detailing which we may have had.

    Principal Architect - Arcop
