SGB, a leader in
Rammed Earth Construction
"Mike Sims mixed materials from a local quarry with iron oxide to dye the (Rammed Earth)
earthen mixture four different colors, to evoke the multihued rock cliffs of Abiquiu, where O'Keefe lived and worked."
- Wall Street Journal, 2015
"...(Rammed Earth) is a sensual interpretation of the landscape beyond. The layers and color come from the earth on the property and in the region. The result is a silky, banded surface that begs to be touched and requires no other embellishment. The craftmanship is the work of ... the very best rammed-earth master in the region."
- Texas Architect Magazine, 2014
