AFFORDABLE ADOBE

Affordable Adobe - Building value for working families, while sustaining traditional building in Taos, New Mexico... What's Adobe? (Short answer: sun-dried mud). Adobe is a traditional building material used for millennia in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, as well as New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest, where the pueblo people used it to construct their homes well before the Spanish came. Taos Pueblo, which is built entirely out of adobe, is the oldest, continuously inhabited dwelling place in North America. Adobe is usually made out of earth, sand, straw, and water, which is mixed into "mud," formed into bricks, and baked in the sun. Bricks come in all sizes, but we prefer the 4x10x14 size. We make our own bricks and vigas.
