Jeffrey the Natural BuilderAdventures in natural building

My passion is to build using local, natural, materials. I'm excited by the creativity needed to build using what is naturally all around us.

I adore the aesthetics of buildings built using natural materials, the warmth of earthen plasters and the feeling created when spaces are not confined by dimensioned lumber.

I strive to find a balance between using natural materials, man made materials with high efficiency and reclaimed materials. With careful consideration to the materials used, buildings can be efficient and non toxic to all.

After studying Industrial Design at Brunel University, I spent five years working as a graphic designer in London. View my portfolio

Once I realised that office life in the city wasn't for me, I left England to explore the mountains of Canada, while continuing to work as a freelance designer.

I am a CASI level 3 Snowboard instructor and spend my winters teaching snowboarding in the Canadian Rockies. I'm also a keen amateur photographer. Some of my photos can be found via the Flickr thumbnails to the right.
