The First Fungus House Already Exists!
We have an exciting new development that redefines the concept of affordable and ecological housing.
Have you ever imagined a house made of fungi? In West Oakland, California, a pioneering project called Phoenix is doing just that, radically transforming the way we think about home construction.
The Phoenix project is not just a design feat, but a milestone in sustainable construction, offering homes at half the price of conventional homes, built in half the time and with a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
Phoenix’s commitment to sustainability is notable, especially in the choice of its materials. The facade, made from mycelium, a carbon-negative biomaterial, not only promotes a sustainable life cycle but is also lightweight, durable, fire resistant, and offers insulation properties comparable to those of glass and rock.
This innovation represents a significant step forward towards a more sustainable future, proving that it is possible to create solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
We made a super interesting video about this project on our Instagram, and you’ll want to check it out.

Gabions, known for their strength, durability, flexibility, and permeability, also stand out for their sustainability and ability to promote biodiversity. This article not only explores the intrinsic characteristics that make gabions an attractive ecological option but also provides a historical overview of this practice, from its conception to contemporary applications.
Our analysis covers a broad spectrum of uses for gabions, including, but not limited to, erosion control, construction of retaining walls, flood management, and, most notably, their aesthetic value in landscaping projects. The integration of gabions into modern architecture demonstrates how traditional materials and techniques can be reimagined to meet today’s challenges and aesthetic ideals.
Furthermore, the article highlights how gabions contribute to environmental sustainability. Through promoting biodiversity and effective water management, gabions represent an iconic example of how engineering practices can align with environmental conservation and sustainability goals.
