Rammed earth house

The house with an area of about 30 m2 is built of earth, sand, and clay, compacted in removable formwork.
The layered combination of the two materials gave the cottage walls a unique texture and color.
In addition, the construction estimate was reduced, and transportation costs were reduced, since the material was taken from the nearby hills.
The proposed project of a small house (29.8 m2). The house has 1 bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom.
In the center of the house is an atrium. Inside the atrium, it is proposed to plant grapes. Since the atrium is a small area, and the stems take up a little space and look very interesting and ornate. The vine seems to grow out of the house, enveloping it.
The planning solution allows a person to fully enjoy the unity with nature.
Due to the small area, it was decided not to use the fireplace or boiler room. It is suggested to use a film infrared ceiling heater.
Taking as a basis natural physical phenomenon, scientists have created a unique heating system. They noticed that it gets cold when the sun goes out, its rays become oblique and poorly warm the earth. But as soon as the sun returns to its place, the earth warms up and gives off the accumulated heat. The principle of operation of the ribbon infrared heater is the same.
By placing the canvases on the ceiling, we get the effect of the action of solar heat at home. Invisible rays heat all existing surfaces, which then give off the accumulated heat. At the same time, oxygen is not burned in the room, the air does not become drier, which makes a person feel very comfortable in such a room.
Long-spectrum infrared rays do not create a magnetic field, are safe for humans and do not cause any negative side effects.
In addition, the house is oriented so that the side with the maximum area of glazing faces south. Sunlight, penetrating the premises, heats the array of walls during the day, and the accumulated heat allows you to reduce the cost of heating.
For interior decoration, natural wood was used, which, in combination with earthen walls, panoramic windows and hidden lighting, gives the home a special comfort.
To emphasize the unusual texture of the walls, as well as due to the small area of the building, tables, cabinets, sofas are made in a minimalist style with strict straight lines.
In addition to the interior, the focus is on the exterior and landscape design. The house seems to grow out of the ground.
