Description
This project highlights our commitment to sustainable building practices through the use of eco adobe construction, leveraging the naturally occurring clayey soil found on-site. To mitigate the challenges posed by the monsoon season, we implemented a roof-first strategy, allowing for the safe construction of walls and civil interiors beneath its protection. The choice of clay loam as a primary building material is pivotal, offering excellent properties for creating a living environment that naturally breathes and adjusts internal humidity, promoting health and comfort.
A common query regarding earth structures concerns their durability; however, it’s noteworthy that with proper maintenance, especially in ensuring a robust roofing system, an earth-built edifice can significantly outlive conventional concrete constructions. While the latter might see a lifespan of merely 15 to 20 years within the Indian context, a meticulously cared-for adobe construction can stand for centuries, making it not only an eco-conscious choice but a testament to enduring architecture.
