About this Place

Mr. Barry J. Fuller researched, wrote and regularly updates this website based on the more current information. He has been a University Instructor, Alternative Materials Specialist, experimental designer, and builder - as well as a media producer. He produced the DVDs offered in the DVDs, Plans & Research section of this site.
Mr. Fuller developed his interest in papercrete by traveling throughout the country interviewing people who have extensive experience with papercrete and learning as much as possible about building with this exciting new material. Then he built Paper Palace One, a model test structure which was electronically monitored for three years. Photos of Paper Palace One can be seen on the Current Projects page.

He has currently completed the conceptualization and planning of Paper Palace Two, a 5500 square foot zero energy home, which is being made with a new form of papercrete called BetR-blok. BetR-blok is machine made and has been engineered to meet building codes everywhere. Mr. Fuller designed and supervised the fabrication of the entire BetR-blok manufacturing system.
