is a commission by a private client for a country house half an hour upstream from the great Victoria Falls. The outer walls are made entirely from rammed earth. The shape of a kringle derives from the clients with to have as many rooms facing the Zambezi and Zimbabwe - while having part of the program wrap around a central courtyard.
It overlooks the great Zambezi River to the south, which divides Zambia and Zimbabwe, and an extensive series of artificial ponds to the north.
After many different samples a mix of 2 different local soils was chosen.
