- Born out of an experimentation, this home in Alwar revives the lost craft of natural homes built using old construction techniques indigenous to the local context. Mud takes center stage for the architect, who designs this home for her mother-in-law practicing organic farming.
#MyGreatFacade is a series presented by Fenesta Windows in association with #buildofy
A compact home with minimal functions, the challenge was to blend the inside and the outside in a well-ventilated built form naturally lit from all sides. A sloping roof sandwiched between two open terraces adds drama to the volumes. Natural materials are utilized to their fullest potential, adding strength, insulation, and aesthetics to the overall structure.

The rammed earth walls, central living room, and materiality of the two distinct bedrooms are some key highlights of the project. The principal architect walks us through the home, insightfully breaking down the material palette as well as the traditional construction techniques that add charm to this sustainable home.

It is exciting to see traditional building methods get a modern implementation. The house is beautiful, sustainable, and well crafted.
Lovely. I am from the Caribbean where there is a relatively large East Indian presence due to indentureship period. I grew up in my grandmother's house...what we call a traditional "Tapia" /mud house. Two levels, very beautiful....you would not have thought it was a mud. The one thing i remember was when we were demolishing it to construct a bigger more modern home. The work men began demolition and were relentlessly hitting the walls but it just would not fall. An older person told them "let the crane tear it down, you're wasting your time. Concrete would fall easily, but not mud house". I was 8 years old. When the crane began to tear it down i saw why....the mud, the cow dung & the grass kept those walls so tightly binded. Seeing this video brings a smile to my face. Well done lady. You could see how pleased mother in law is❤
This is the loveliest thing that one can do for its parents. And most of all this is the best way how we should be living.
Can’t believe this house has a material palette so similar to my idea of a sustainable, yet elegant mud house! A lot of mud houses I have come across lack any use of limestone finishes for waterproofing, wall paints, etc.
So glad to have found this video.
Maa Shaa Allah. Very nice house. Now it is a perfect home. Mubaarak . Always stay blessed
A bit of Mediterranean touch with blunt edges whold have elevated your design to the next level.
बहुत ही सुन्दर मड हाऊस

The stairs reminded me of Rani ki Vav.
I think such homes can only sustain in dry conditions like Alwar... elsewhere heavy monsoon can disfigure it in couple of years.
I would like to be proven wrong.
Earth houses should have good hats (roof) and good boots (elevated foundation) and it can easily withstand heavy rain. They built a marvelous home.
Beautiful
Beautiful house
I wish there was a rammed earth home on AirBnB I would love to book a stay, just to get a feel for it.
आपके जैसा हमें भी घर बनाना है आपका बनाया हुआ नक्शा बहुत ही बढ़िया है
Best...
Nicely done. I'm curious about the "completely natural tie beam". How does that work?
1:19 english speaking farmer in india ...wow
I just have one question. Can it withstand natural calamities like heavy rain, earthquake, stormy weather etc
If there are less rats running around, I am all fine with mud house. Also if less maintenance and dust then I am okay.
I guess that rats cannot harm these structures as rammed earth are about 1 to 2ft thick with 5% cement composition which are terminate proof and can last upto 100 years
Any lowbudget house construction. Let me know
Bro nobody asking you you ..
Keep a cat 🐈 if rats are a problem
This is not mud (kacchi mitti) but rammed earth, by time it becomes more stronger.
What are the process of making this house
What the use of AC again
😂😂...rich people and their ideologies 😂😂
I wish to see this home. where it is in Alwar
Looking Awesome and good see something like back to basics. What kind of cost incurred in this project. Planning to have similar kind of house at my farm.
lovely
sustainable eco friendly Houses are need of the hour.
I have 11 hectares of land in the Philippines, and I am planning to dedicate half of it into making a small village with all houses created with mud. I have this Idea of a village built with only eco friendly materials or natural materials that we can get in my land. Mud, sand, straws, woods etc. Straws or mud tile for roofs... And for electricity, I already built a hydro electric water wheel and am planning to build more in the future, I also have a solar power that I use for my water pumps to irrigate my farm. I am planning to just use these power source in the future since my land is already in the middle of th jungle and mountaisn. 20 kilometer away from nearby city.
But All of these are just mere ideas and dream of mine for now. I am only 25 years old and there's so much I need to learn and experience. I am still starting to learn about this Mud houses or cob house and t
Natural tie beam 😀
If spoken in hindi is very useful
it others. Good work.
कोई वस्तु सदा के लिए हो तो कितना अच्छा हो!!!!!
Beautiful house.I would like to have one like this
How about long time maintainance?
Hi, Wonderful to see what you have achieved. What are the dimensions? Also what stone, you have used for the roof.
Can you please share the photos n videos of the construction process incase if u have.
Can you please share the google map location of this house. Wish to visit and see for myself to replicate the same at my 1.5 Bigha agriculture land in Alwar district only
Total cost of the house??
Nice house, as you used mud, i guess the temp must be lower than outside one...even w/o AC.
Beautiful madam
I want this house in Africa.
Hi! Great concept. I am looking for an Architect like you to build my house. How can we connect?
How do I get in touch with the architect and masons .
We are making everything commercial even mud houses o god
Do have temperature readings during peak summer.. outside ambient air temperature, outside wall temperature and similarly indoor for different rooms with different roof material. Also i see a AC installed so i am assuming temperatures are going above 28 degree Celsius indoors.
Beautiful house.. But where do they keep their cloths and stuff?
Hi Shilpa, just wanted to know if the house is resilient particularly against the natural hazards? Also is the strength and stiffness comparable to steel and concrete?
Hi, yes Rammed earth house are quite resilient against any natural calamities like, earthquake, fire and rain. Need to stabilize the earth using just 5-7 % lime or cement. I will prefer cement as it's sustainable material. I will personally suggest to see videos of Rammed earth wall/house. In south India already there are lot of such house projects in place. Thank you that you are concerned about Earth 🌎 and sustainable living 😊
How to made contact for mud house construction???
Where is it in alwar
Hi shipra where it is located in Alwar.
Plyboard on roof?
Beautiful..are you taking projects also?
What will be the expenditure for 100 square foot house
How do you run concealed services through stone and rammed earth walls? Can someone chime in please?
What about climate change..like leak due to rain or extreme hear during summer or coldness in winter?? And its overall impact over the years on the mud house? What precautions or measure did u undertake while constructing this mud house??
Foundation work ? How its done
Naturally Beautiful and esthetic. Wat is approximate cost of 2bhk with terrace?
VERY INTERESTING Earth House design I am curious to know how the home looks after a year are so of being erected are there any cracks etc in the earth bag core wall clay interior finishes etc and what is the thermal performance of keeping its occupants comfortable in this incredible hot weather india is experience? The home is beautiful as it blends with the site and looks awe inspiring for anyone seeking a earth stone structure with beautiful aesthetics and soul of natural materials.
