Gayle Parsons
Project Founder
As a passionate advocate for climate-change solutions, Gayle’s strength as an innovator is in creating the vision for this pioneering building method. Her leadership and business acumen has allowed her to draw together a team of talented material scientists, architects, engineers and strategists to deliver the world’s first habitable 3D-printed earth buildings.
An experienced property developer and project manager with over 20 years of experience, she also has a B.Mus from Cardiff University and previously worked in the Classical Music business.
Gayle leads a talented team of people who believe in doing things differently, together, undaunted.
