To Open a blog again and write down what we have been up to for the past two years seems like a daunting task but just feel we should document some of the work we have done
Largest Rammed Earth Structure in South Africa
Hoyo Hoyo Conference center
This building surprised the client from start to finish what was planned to be a convenience store turned into the most beautiful and eye catching buildings in the Acornhoek area close to Hoedspruit
We used a mixture of face brick and rammed earth as well as some insitu concrete beams to span the eight meter door the Rammed earth used here has tested in the region of 28MPA which is huge strength totally unnecessary but has given birth to a very hard durable building that will be maintenance free for many years to come
Eight hundred meters under roof for Two thousand per meter Green Building at less than a quarter conventional cost
The Rustic building gave space to do an unconventional floor
We used a mixture of cretestone blocks randomly scattered around and filled in the gaps with a standard hardened screed just steel floated with a hardener in it
Our best feature of this building was a Sandscape that was twenty one m long and three meters high
A nine month project with a small crew of eight people and an awesome showcase of what can be done with Rammed Earth
