Back of the first earthbag and superadobe house built at Plenitud, designed by Owen Ingley. This home did not use the dome structure that is often used in earthbag building, but was instead designed with a more conventional zinc roof. This structure had no damage from Hurricane María or the months of rains that followed.

When Raíces first visited Plenitud PR in 2013, their first earth bag and superadobe house was under construction on their land. Arriving in the driving tropical rain, Owen still invited us to step into the earth bag house for our first time to see the completed structure, which had suffered no damage in the winds and rain of Hurricane María.
