Materiality: Rammed Earth

The external walls of our rammed earth buildings are a minimum of 300mm (1 ft) thick, providing excellent protection from extremes in climate The thickness and density of the material means that heat (or cold) penetration of the wall is very slow and the internal temperature of the building remains comparatively stable, with the end result of it feeling warmer in winter and cooler in summer than the outside temperature.

Earth layers are then compacted using a pneumatic backfill tamper to compress the layers closer to form tighter bonds

Next added progressively till the frame work is filled
