Hi!
I live down in the SC lowcountry in North Charleston.
FYI There is a local architect here who teaches making cob ovens and has also gotten engineering sign off for a rammed earth house (as of a couple of years ago when I took a class). By now, she may have progressed on that thought.
She teaches Sustainable Building at the College of Building Arts (ACBA) here >

Her name is April Magill and her personal practice web site is:

You are not alone!
