Goldsworthy green housing technology is a flexible system of shelter construction using composite materials and natural fibers. These shelters are embled on site from sections of snap-lock panels – flooring, wall and roofing – to form a complete housing, office, or storage unit.

Shelters formed using the technology are strong, fast to emble and are very protective from environmental extremes. The construction is frameless and needs only a footing or simple grading. The shelter system can be made completely livable with built-in utilities and pre-decorated surfaces.

Goldsworthy green housing technology is a refined method of housing construction that incorporates the advantages of composite materials with the pultrusion process for manufacturing the panels and the innovative snap-lock (fastenerless) joint system. Composite materials provide structural superiority, better thermal dynamics, no rotting and protection from pest problems. Snap-lock joints allow for easy embly and structural integrity not found in conventional building methods and materials. Once construction is complete, structures are suitable for emergency dwellings, factory tilt-ups and high quality custom housing.

Relient K performing “Sadie Hawkins Dance” during the Appetite for Construction tour. During this song they invited some people on stage to help play the song… it didn’t sound like the guy playing guitar was really plugged in though.

This video illustrates Zipblocks being used to construct bridge columns, cinderblock-like walls, and how pre-tiled Zipblocks can be used to instantly emble tiled walls & floors.

Zipblocks are a unique modular interlocking construction technology that allows builders to instantly build “finished” projects on just about any scale.

***Some advantages of building with Zipblocks are***

Green Technology: Zipblocks create zero waste during construction as when you cut a Zipblock in two you are only creating two smaller Zipblocks. Zipblocks can be manufactured from renewable resources or from recycled materials. Unless Zipblocks are glued together they are a re-usable building product.

Bond any two different materials together: You can join Styrofoam Zipblocks to steel Zipblocks to wood Zipblocks to rubber Zipblocks with ease. Because Zipblocks mechanically interlock they will always bond to other Zipblocks…regardless of the materials from which they are made.

Simple: Zipblocks simply lock together on placement.

No tools required: No tools are required to build using Zipblocks.

No adhesives required: Use of adhesives with Zipblocks to enhance stability is optional.

No Screws or nails required: Use of screws and nails to enhance stability is optional.

No skilled labor required: If you can emble a toy-construction brick kit…you have the skills necessary to build with Zipblocks.

Add fibrous strength to large structures: You can add fibrous strength to structures by weaving lengths of Zipblocks together in opposing directions. Think of it like this. Plywood is very strong but it only comes in limited sizes. Zipblocks allow you to build things virtually any size and at the same time the entirety of whatever you build can exhibit the strength characteristics exhibited by plywood.

Extremely strong: It is extremely easy to reinforce Zipblocks via rebar and steel reinforcements.

Save time: You can build life-size structures almost as quickly as you can put toy-construction brick kits together. Click here to see how fast a course of Zipblocks can be laid.

Inexpensive to manufacture: Because Zipblocks are so simple…we estimate that manufacturing them would only cost 10% of the actual cost of the raw materials used to fabricate them.

Pre-tiled wall, floors, patios, and walkways: You can build instant tiled flooring with Zipblocks.

Limitless Application: What can you build with Zipblocks? Well you can build anything that you can build with toy-construction brick’s…but on a much larger scale. You can build bridges, toys, landscape edging, tunnels, balconies, walls, etc. etc.

Easy for robots to fabricate products with: Because of their cubic/interlocking properties it is easy to program CNC machines to fabricate products using Zipblocks. At Zipblocks we like to refer to this process as robolithography.

Variety: Zipblocks come in many flavors. There are basic Zipblocks, advanced Zipblocks, snake Zipblocks, Curve Zipblocks, and etc. They all have special characteristics that make them ideal for certain applications.

This is not your ancestors’ straw hut! Straw bale homes are the new wave in green home building. Why not? Straw is natural, highly renewable, energy efficient, mold & allergy resistant, fire retardant (bet you didn’t know that) and one of the healthiest choices you can make for the frame of your green home. The range of designs and architectural features is unlimited. Check out the Santa Barbara dream home host Kevin Contreras built out of straw – it’s Zen modern and green to the core.
