Our project attempts to design transformative housing as an urban initiative with extending knowledge in the vernacular and modern construction in rammed earth and cross-laminated timber (CLT).

LOCATION AND CLIMATE

The initial intention is to introduce natural ventilation into the building, allowing gentle airflow through out the site around the year.
