SUPER ADOBE
Return to the essential.
At Domolon, superadobe is more than just a building technique—it’s part of our identity. Since the beginning, this way of building with earth has defined us and positioned us as pioneers in Ecuador. Inspired by the vision of architect Nader Khalili, we’ve delved deeply into this sustainable practice that merges tradition, innovation, and respect for the environment.
Superadobe involves using the earth from the very site where the building is constructed. This soil is stabilized with lime and cement to create a firm, durable material known as earth-cement. The mixture is placed into continuous bags that are stacked to form solid, curved walls—capable of supporting impressive structures that remain in harmony with the surrounding landscape.
Building with superadobe is a return to the essential. It’s about creating soulful living spaces that endure over time and speak the language of the earth. At Domolon, we believe this technique is not just an architectural choice—it’s a statement of principles about how we want to inhabit the world.
