Annual ATA Bicycle Maintenance Day at Waterside Workshops followed by a tasty lunch at Vik's Chaat. Check out our sweet bike crew!

Arkin Tilt Architects have two projects in the new book Down to Earth: Rammed Earth Architecture - a book featuring firms all over the world who incorporate this ancient technique in modern designs. High mass and low carbon, durable and evocative, building with earth is a great “tool” in the architectural tool-box. Check out our projects Canyon Road Bridge and Sweetwater Springs.

ATA project manager Tavi Hillesland, Lucy Blake from Northern Sierra Partnership and Jesse White from Timberworks Construction discuss the next steps of the build. The new structures transform a former cattle ranch to provide an exhibit and event space, as well as preserve maintenance facilities. It features passive solar design with south-east facing glass providing a panoramic view of the Valley, and “straw-cell” construction for carbon-storing super insulated walls.

Happy 2023 from the Arkin Tilt team! Late this past year we celebrated our 25th anniversary. We are thankful for the ongoing collaboration with our clients, subcontractors and natural building community for continuing to grow with us and spread the mission of high-performing, great looking and carbon storing design.

We are thrilled that the AIA East Bay has recognized our Blue Dot Farmworker Housing project with an Honor Award in the small project category. Designed on an efficient low carbon, low energy prototype that honors agricultural workers using primarily agricultural products. Read more here: https://aiaeb.org/2022-design-award-winners/
