This Natural Mud House in Alwar is Designed With Traditional Construction Techniques (Home Tour).

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.

A bit of Mediterranean touch with blunt edges whold have elevated your design to the next level.

[@gurvirsingh883]

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.

[@francescabremner9248]

Greetings from the USA. So impressed with the concept and the process. Wonderful work. One wish. I was waiting to see the studio. Wishing you much success.

Kudos to Shipra. Its the best gift of love one could give to their mother ❤

[@MohammedZaheeruddin-nr5sp]

Maa Shaa Allah. Very nice house. Now it is a perfect home. Mubaarak . Always stay blessed

[@dikshasinghal9]

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.

[@sandipmalpani3976]

A Fantastic idea conceptualized Beautifully. Hats off to the team who build it. Future is bright for sustainable living.

[@siddharthpathak356]

Very beautiful project on this channel. This is the best project after Nitin Kilawala's Smriti House project. Hats off & wishes to the architect. please if possible put one short of this house on channel. ❤

[@thecreativelife7532]

So beautiful 😍

[@rajendrajasathy4356]

Nice house, as you used mud, i guess the temp must be lower than outside one...even w/o AC.

[@MetalGearMk3]

I wish there was a rammed earth home on AirBnB I would love to book a stay, just to get a feel for it.

[@naveenvermaji]

great job

[@jiturana001]

आपके जैसा हमें भी घर बनाना है आपका बनाया हुआ नक्शा बहुत ही बढ़िया है

[@thevagabond85yt]

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.

[@Risingmoon8]

Earth houses should have good hats (roof) and good boots (elevated foundation) and it can easily withstand heavy rain. They built a marvelous home.

[@swarooppatel3441]

Beautiful house.I would like to have one like this

[@tusharkathuria9]

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.

[@AB.926]

Beautiful

[@vidyashankar5302]

Hi, it was wonderful to see what you have created. Keep it up. What are the dimensions and what stone is used for the flat roof in the rooms?

[@dileepmaurya8411]

[@rajain]

[@yashasvidahiya8273]

Hey Shipra . We are looking forward to make a small 2BHK farmhouse in Haryana . We want it to be simple and sober , so it would be great if you let me know more that how will it be made and if you can be the architect. #Buildofy

[@dharanikumaranagani9471]

lovely

[@tomhardy8834]

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??

[@mrahal10]

Namaste. How can I get started in building a mud house. Can you give advice please.🙏

[@roopakalal3452]

Can you please share the photos n videos of the construction process incase if u have.

[@aishwaryawadiyar8216]

Is it high maintenance for long run ?

[@samikshapratap7304]

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?

[@beejonsahu9922]

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 😊

[@shakilbhatti6126]

Foundation work ? How its done

[@mohit815]

Natural tie beam 😀

[@khandelwalpkg]

[@rkdandu]

@8.23 split AC spotted in the bedroom.

[@prashantkumar-iy9ty]

How do I get in touch with the architect and masons .

[@MediherbzWellness]

❤

[@joyid]

If there are less rats running around, I am all fine with mud house. Also if less maintenance and dust then I am okay.

[@DIY_Techie]

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

[@lakshmiraju2419]

Any lowbudget house construction. Let me know

[@ishubhangi]

Bro nobody asking you you ..

[@parveenbishnoi1560]

Keep a cat 🐈 if rats are a problem

[@yogeshsoni8135]

This is not mud (kacchi mitti) but rammed earth, by time it becomes more stronger.

[@anjaleechiwhane]

Total cost of the house??

[@vipuldabhi6971]

How much does it cost for complete construction,?

[@yogeshsoni8135]

Is it possible to get an idea of construction budget? No land cost, no interior, just idea about construction cost. I know it depends upon place to place and area, but still I would like to know.

[@vaishnavipawar958]

Where is it in alwar

[@kavitatiwari2799]

Kitna area h aapka farm house

[@akramkhan3984]

How to made contact for mud house construction???

[@harishkarnati9669]

How do we contact you for prospects if we are willing to make a house like this.

[@hashimshaikh2084]

Doubt about sustainability

[@mpb9834]
