Abstract

The study tends to represent the surrounding environment through the use of local and readily available building materials, rammed earth, in constructing the structural building walls. The walls of the villa designed to be built with the rammed earth, as they seem they grow out of the ground and belong to the ground, in which it has the same soul and character of the surrounding area.
