Rammed Earth Single Residence

University/SchoolÉcole nationale supérieure d'architecture de Paris-Belleville
Lead ArchitectXinyu Li

Rammed earth is a very ecological material. For the project, a mixture of red clay, coarse sand and lime blocks was used for the walls. The modules were first placed in place and then fixed. We put the material into the modules little by little and reinforced them each time. In this way we can have beautiful layers and textures on the walls. The idea is to provide different aspects for different sides. The north and south sides of the building are made of rammed earth walls. Large windows are located to the east and west to let in light.
