Made In Earth
Architecture . Art . Ecology
Residence | Community Row Housing | Malur, Bangalore The brick kiln house was our first take on building with earth blocks. Together with a composite thatch roof, we hope to give a new meaning to ‘rustic’ in the contemporary earth architecture.
The brick kiln house was our first take on CSEB architecture, hours of puzzling over the bond patterns lead to each brick meticulously being laid out into what would be the model house for NSR Greenwoods.
The sight of the brick kilns, omnipresent in the surrounding region of the site captured our imagination. Clean cuts for the windows, large openings and the composite thatch roof attempt to give new meaning to ‘rustic’ in the contemporary realm.
