Sirewall

For thousands of years, civilizations have been building with rammed earth. Secured wooden forms, filled with damp earth were compacted to create stable walls that have lasted several lifetimes.

Since its invention in 1992, SIREWALL has been the technological leader of insulated rammed earth development. Sirewalls are made using rebar and insulation enveloped with rammed earth. This combination, along with the SIREWALL System for quality control and soil blending, builds walls that exceed current standards for energy efficiency and compressive strength. The SIREWALL System works seamlessly with unique designs and modern finishes that have timeless appeal.

The Task At Hand

Work was done through Cowie and Fox. Back in 2007, Cowie and Fox designed a site for Sirewall that stood out for its earthy look and feel just like if you were in a sirewall home.

Fast-forward to today and web technologies are changing rapidly. C&F recommedned that Sirewall would do well with an upgrade to their site. While keeping the same established look of the site, we opted to upgrade the site in areas such as adding a CMS system, expanding the real estate of pages, connecting with social media, and optimizing for best SEO and web practices, among other things. The client was super satisfied.
