Rammed earth atelier

Amsterdam

Our studio in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I got into clay construction through rammed earth. I was immediately taken with this solid, highly convincing building method. The simplicity, nothing from the DIY store was needed, just stable formwork and coarse clay with up to 15 mm coarse gravel. What's more, everything could be done by hand.

Rammed earth clay build. I would like to express my gratitude to Charles Thuijls and Marteen Oudshoorn for the rammed earth work, Martijn Heinsius, Mariette Mountanier and the helpers for the tadelakt work, my business partner for her support and trust in my architectural vision. And to all my friends who praised the design.
