These mud blocks are not burnt and therefore the soil in the blocks sustains its fertile qualities. The roof is built using fillers slab and jack arch methods.
The elevation of the house was derived from the layout and masonry detailing, no additional design or material elements were added to embellish the elevation. The big lush garden around the house contrasts and compliments the earthy mud blocks.
