Welcome to the CarbonShack Showroom!

Alfonso Garcia grew up in small town Mexico, he learned construction helping the family build the original adobe structure and later "modern" additions in brick.Generational necessity led to the transmission of building techniques, but Alfonso's green building approach is significantly influenced by exposure to historic processes.As a construction coordinator for Home Front Build and CarbonShack, he reintroduced straw plaster due to its historic roots in adobe construction from his childhood and its dual benefits of acting as a carbon sequester and replacing industrially produced materials. Alfonso approaches green construction through the lens of his heritage drawing on the strength that before industrialization many building techniques were low impact out of necessity
