H. Residential building

Careful craftsmanship and the choice of consistently natural materials characterized the design. The introduction of a rammed earth wall contributed significantly to interior comfort by balancing humidity and stabilizing thermal highs and lows. The clay oven heats the mass of earth, which slowly diffuses into the room through an intimate, heated seating alcove. Handmade tiles by Karak and a rammed earth kitchen counter complete the tactile, artisanal essence of the design.
