Join natural builder, Sigi Koko, as she shares about working with Nature to create inspired architectural designs and construction from natural materials.  We will explore Sigi’s passion and commitment for eco-sensible design and her practical outlook in partnering with Nature in the building of our homes.   Creating in collaboration with our own ecosystems leads to more efficient homes as well as incredibly beautiful, connected spaces.  

Mimicking Nature instead of trying to overpower with our will just makes sense to Sigi.

Sigi Koko, owner and operator of Down to Earth Design, is one of the most established and prolific architect/builders of natural structures in the United States. Her company, founded in 1998, predominantly serves the mid-Atlantic region of the US and designs strawbale homes and residential-scale commercial structures for their environmentally minded clients. For over 25 years Sigi has been pushing the boundaries of the construction market towards sustainable and environmentally conscious building. She is also a major advocate and educator of natural building techniques, holding workshops and courses for students seeking to learn to build with natural materials.
