Root Down Designs

re and building. Living in a society which is facing major issues such as overpopulation, pollution, and diminishing natural resources, we are obligated to finding creative, efficient, and ‘out-of-the-box’ building solutions. Root Down Designs is committed to bringing a holistic view to all projects, with regionally sourced materials, Passive-Solar design, Sacred Geometry, and Dynamic Flow dictating her designs. Natural Building/Alternative Building is a growing movement of building practices and principles; April has just recently designed two modern Rammed Earth buildings permitted in South Carolina. She splits her time between her architectural practice and focusing on Natural Building practices, both as a traveling teacher of workshops and as a commissioned artisan. She recently completed an all-natural, clay plaster job in North Carolina and a clay paint for her own home. April is eager to keep learning and practicing, and sharing this knowledge with others.
