Rammed-earth walls enclose A House Born of Four Soils in India

Sand sourced from four different regions creates a “geological canvas” of coloured and textured strata in the rammed-earth walls of this home in India, designed by Ahmedabad studio Hiren Patel Architects + Design.  Named A House Born of Four Soils, the 790-square-metre home is located on an open, arid site on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.  Hiren Patel Architects + Design (HPAD) organised the dwelling across a series of low-slung volumes that wrap a central paved courtyard, onto which all of its rooms have direct access.
