A simple timber frame allows local materials to be used, providing a framework to be in-filled as the resident chooses. This will also allow the transition to Compressed Earth Blocks, a material that reduced the need for imported timber and provides a readily available material, even after a cyclone. Earth blocks can initially be used as an infill, allowing ongoing testing to achieve a structurally stable mix.
