PLAYFUL ABODE

THE FOCUS

The architect decided to go eco-friendly by focusing on local materials and techniques, upcycling, recycling and ensuring a minimal carbon footprint. Now this earth has been on site since forever. It has endured the test of time. So it just made sense that this very earth becomes the house! One that uses only 6-8% of cement usually needed for normal construction. Bringing the same idea into mainstream architecture, the team built structural walls for the house by ramming earth excavated from the site itself. And to add a fun element, like patterns seen in layered sand art, different natural oxides are used to create layered fluid patterns in the large monolith. The girls’ stone and shell collections, were also added to the walls to preserve their fond memories.
