Materials | Rammed Earth
Equanimity
The design concept aims to create a refuge where people can escape life's pressures, connect with nature, and find inner peace. It centers on enhancing the human sensory experience within the space, encompassing what visitors will see, hear, smell, and touch while on-site.
As a result, straight lines and simple shapes were employed to strike a delicate balance, ensuring that the architecture harmonizes with the natural environment. The facades of the buildings were carefully crafted to allow controlled and poetic entry of natural light, emphasizing its intrinsic value.
The Rammed Earth technique was employed, utilizing thick walls to insulate the interior from the noise of the main street. Nevertheless, while strolling through the landscape, the sounds of nature, particularly the tranquil flow of water in the lake, become apparent.
The project is intentionally designed to provide an open connection to the outdoors, allowing visitors to experience the scents of plants, rain, and the surrounding environment both inside and outside.
The building material will be sourced directly from the site's soil, creating a tactile connection to the natural elements of the location. This fosters a profound sense of belonging to both nature and the earth
Sloping roofs are installed above the buildings' rooftops to prevent the transmission of heat from the roof to the interior. These roofs also serve to cover the vents used for air extraction from the building.
