Native Earth Systems are the superior choice for homes, apartments, high-rises, and commercial buildings. By integrating advanced, patented materials and methods, Native Earth Systems provide beauty, affordability, increased security, and reduced environmental impact. Trends in energy and resource shortages, rising costs, and escalating environmental changes gave rise to this innovative new type of construction system.

These new structures are stronger than conventional structures and resistant to toxic mold, fire, floods, earthquakes, acid-rain, chemicals, UV rays, wind, fire, termites and other biologic organisms. They also compete with conventional structures in terms of initial purchase price, yet deliver more value per dollar in terms of both appearance and performance. As an added bonus, Native Earth Systems are completely recyclable to comply with the latest construction code requirements.

Technology Highlights

Four elements make up the Native Earth Systems: advanced materials (AM), geometric forms (GF), constructive elements (DICE), and assembly methods (SAM).

1. “AM” - Advanced Materials that include Nano-Ceramics, allowing 400% strength increase and fire resistance to 3200 degrees Fahrenheit. AMs are covered by both patents and trade secrets.

2. “GF” - Geometric Forms which serve multiple specialized purposes in constructed buildings, thereby reducing costs. Orava Research has filed US and international patent applications for its GF technology.

3. “DICE” - Dynamically Interactive Constructive Elements which are formed by organizing GF into larger configurations which accomplish energy capture, storage and utilization, environmental control and safety. Orava Research has filed US and international patent applications for its DICE technology.

4. “SAM” - Simplified Assembly Methods allow DICE to be easily and quickly assembled in the field to form complete structures. Orava Research has filed US and International patents for its SAM technology.

Retrofitting and Remodeling

Individual aspects of Native Earth Systems can function as stand-alone solutions to construction problems. For example, AM materials can be used to coat damaged and mold infested wood structures such as those found in Louisiana and Mississippi following the hurricanes. The result is an enhanced, disaster resistant structure far superior to the original building. Aspects of Native Earth Systems can also be seamlessly combined with conventional construction as a superior method of creating additional space or of replacing portions of an existing structure.

Preservation of damaged historic structures previously beyond the ability of traditional repair methods can be economically accomplished by utilizing aspects of Native Earth Systems. Currently, 80% of a conventional home can be replaced with Native Earth Systems technology.
