Desert

Villa

Lime-clay mixture for treating the facade of a house in the desert. With thanks to Martijn Heinsius, Armin Ardi and all the apprentices who made this project a true desert rose. The exterior walls are up to 80 cm thick and built from sun-dried mud bricks. The owner wanted a house like his ancestors had. With such thick walls, air conditioning is not necessary.
