Architects from dsgn design have commissioned a Rammed Earth Wall at the reception area for the new Rio Tinto Head Office in Illovo, Johannesburg.
We built this wall as decorative and as colourful as requested.. select stones and gravel have been embedded into the wall to give extra effect 'of a cross-section into a Mines bedrock'.
