Ryan has worked on the construction of numerous natural buildings spanning a range of materials and techniques, particularly the integration of unique timberframe structures with various natural wall systems. His interest in building is the creation of unique, healthy spaces underpinned by a joyful building process and the integration of temple/church/sacred space into the everyday built environment.
