Forum Grad presents for your review a series of photos of a private residence Casa del Bosque, built by Taller in Mexico. 400 square meters building, new. Construction completed in 2011.
Inexpensive and ecologically pure materials were used for the construction. Walls built with rammed earth. This method has been known since ancient times, when our ancestors built their earthwork houses. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century this method was very popular. In 1799 in Gatchina they built the Priory Palace, which stood without repairing the walls for two hundred years. The walls are made strong and durable with this technology. Compacted earth with sand and clay is a clean process that produces an exceptionally smooth surface. At the same time, you can save significantly on construction costs. The use of wood in the finishing helps the house to blend into the surrounding landscape.
Open veranda invites to relax. Glass partitions visually unify and expand the rooms. A real fireplace adds romance. The kitchen-dining room is equipped with the latest technology, making cooking easy and enjoyable. And a large table allows you to gather a lot of guests.
