Lehmbau, clay- and- fiber construction, is an age-old material that fits today’s needs: hyperlocal sourcing, climate friendliness, healthy indoor climates, and support for biodiversity. As a biogenic assembly, it locks carbon in natural fibers such as wood chips, hemp, and straw. Clay encases and preserves these fibers, regulates moisture, and contributes to fire- resistant structures. The result is a climate-smart approach that shifts from emitting carbon to storing it and helps shape healthier, wildfire- resilient neighborhoods.
