RAMMED EARTH - Pavillion Dalrymple (Westcliff, JHB)

Breathtaking Project..!!

Architects Silvio Rech and Leslie Carstens designers of this outdoor entertainment building called "Pavillion Dalrymple"

Two storeys of Rammed Earth wall... full of colour and natural beauty.... in a breathtaking setting in the wonderful upmarket suburb of Westcliff, Johannesburg.






This is just the basement floor... that you see in the photo's.
Wait till you see the Ground Floor wall.... 3 times the size!!!

Note: All soils, soil colours and pigments are 100% natural, either from the blending of the available soil deposits or sourcing soil/agrement rock from site to generate a pigment (e.g. the black lines are a combination of the local dark red soil which is clay rich and soot/charcoal from onsite fires all mixed together, and allowing them to ferment, etc.).
