    This 194 square meter residence in Kerala, India was built using sustainable and recycled materials. The multi-level house was constructed on a sloped site containing the remnants of demolished buildings. Debris walls made from recycled construction waste like broken bricks and ceramic tiles were used. Coconut shells were used as fillers in the concrete roof. Rammed earth walls stabilized with cement provide strength. Further green initiatives include rainwater harvesting and passive air circulation. The design achieves an expressive architecture while overcoming material limitations through the use of recycled materials.

    KERALA

    Submitted by : Priti Kocheta


    5th SEM.
    INTRODUCTION
    Architects: Wallmakers
    Area: 194 m²

    • Nestled in a quaint township, is this


    rammed earth residence for a family of
    six.
    • The site was at a slope with
    remnants of many demolished
    buildings. 
    • Maximizing the given area the
    building is set in multiple levels to
    accommodate the family and to meet
    the client’s dreams in the most feasible
    way.

    Debris walls consume 5 times less energy than a fired brick wall:
    Embodied energy of Debris wall = 850 MJ/m3
    Country fired brick Wall = 4,501.25 MJ/m3
    COCONUT SHELL FILLER SLAB
    1. Coconut shells used as
    fillers in the concrete
    roof give a
    1
    contemporary touch to
    the structure.

    2. The latter half of the 2


    house incorporates
    Ferro cement shell
    roofs.

    3. Recycled wood is used


    to create the furniture
    which derives it form
    from boxes to store lots 3
    of books for the client
    who is a school teacher. 
    RAMMED EARTH:-
    The other walls of the building are made of
    rammed earth directly from raw earth with 5%
    cement stabilization. Not only is the technique
    highly effective but it is also very strong with dry
    crushing compressive strength ranging from
    6mpa-8mpa.

    INITIAL EMBODIED ENERGY:


    Rammed earth walls consume 4 times less
    energy than a fired brick wall:
    Embodied energy of Rammed earth wall =
    1,112.36 MJ/m3
    Country fired brick wall = 4,501.25 MJ/m3

    CARBON FOOTPRINT
    Rammed earth walls are polluting 4 times less
    than country fired brick walls:
    Carbon footprint of Rammed earth wall cement
    = 110.11 Kg of CO2 /m3
    Country fired brick wall = 444.12 Kg of CO2 /m3 RAMMED EARTH WALL
    •The small court ensures ventilation and the
    windows made from scrap but with a certain
    careful detailing.
    • The levels of the site are explored for
    connections within and the house maintains a
    scale with sensitivity towards the
    neighborhood.
    • This house employs recycled and eco-
    sensitive materials in its making with
    much care all the while ensuring that the
    material limitations are overcome and an
    expressive architecture is allowed to
    emerge from the constraints.
    •The Debris wall is built over a discovered
    foundation and with materials that are
    recycled from the site. The coconut shell
    filler slab enables the architect to reduce
    concrete in the same. While the house
    uses numerous alternate technologies,
    there is a certain whimsy and playfulness
    in its design.
    Further green initiatives include a
    rainwater harvesting and recycling
    system and a responsive passive air
    circulation achieved through the careful
    planning of the courtyard and the
    facades.
    The windows protected with meter
    boxes from a local scrap yard create a
    mural on the rammed earth walls as
    the day goes by.
