The clients chose earth architecture because they wanted this area to serve as a centre for prenatal education. The ground floor has a sizable open space that will serve as the training room and the couple’s office. The main bedroom, the kids’ bedroom, and an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with balconies on either side maximise natural light and ventilation, serve as the residence’s first level. The jali walls on the east façade prevent solar gains, allowing cooler breezes to enter.
