San Antonio Affordable Housing Inc.

Rammed earth. Giant screws as piers. City of San Antonio building sustainable housing that’s also affordable

July 2, 2021 By Maggie Ryan

An affordable home to be built using the rammed earth technique is planned for the south lot at San Salvador Avenue and Denver Boulevard on the far East Side of San Antonio.

San Antonio Affordable Housing Inc., a nonprofit branch of the city, plans to build two experimental homes on the far East Side, one using earthen materials for its walls, another whose foundation can be adjusted post-construction.
