Rammed Earth - Flemming House





This home in the beautiful Randburg suburb of Kensington B, designed by Paul Marias from Paul Marais & Associates Architects is probably the first completed Rammed Earth constructed home or building in South Africa.

InSynch Sustainable Technologies (Pty) Ltd, project managed and constructed the house from the ground up.

The home included the Rammed Earth walls, the recycled wooden window and door frames on the northern facade (2nd hand frames sourced by InSynch), a greywater system using a Constructed Wetland and a Solar Hot Water system (also installed by InSynch).
