The idea for rammed earth buildings came from the local resources. We were simultaneously striving to establish a regional identity between the local and non-local communities. As an environmentally friendly option, rammed earth has always been a respected construction material and when combined with the rubble masonry foundation, rammed earth walls can prevent water erosion. We introduced the grading system to traditional rammed earth, improving the ratio of the rammed earth mixture and its construction techniques which allowed us to install floor to ceiling doors. The completed rammed earth wall is smooth and shows a faint metallic luster in the sun. When viewed from afar, it presents an overall hue that is harmonious with nature; when viewed up close, one can see the intricate details left by the craftsmen.
