Larger clay elements cast in place instead of bricks used for wall construction

The majority of the construction materials used to build are sourced available: granite stones for the base, clay and fast-growing eucalyptus wood, largely used as firewood.

The wall elements are constructed using a curved mold that enables the elements to be self-supported, and are cast in-situ with a mingle of earth, sand, gravel that is stabilized with cement.

The wall elements contain of earth blend, gravel, sand and cement. The formwork is filled with cement-stabilized reinforced cast earth and stripped of the formwork the next day.
