Quality Rammed Earth Constructions |
SOLAR DESIGN, MARGARET RIVER, WA.
|
This home was designed to maximise solar benefits in the cold Southwest climate of Western Australia. The earthy colours blend in harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, and it is this natural ability to blend in that is one of the unique features of building in rammed earth. |
RAMMED LIMESTONE, PT WALTER, WA.
|
This complex of buildings on the foreshore of the Swan River at Point Walter reflects the great range and versatility of working in rammed earth, in this case, rammed limestone. The café/ restaurant, showers, barbecues, and children's playground are all made out of rammed limestone. This is one of Perth's most used public spaces, and the rammed limestone is both robust and visually appealing. |
KAKADU NATIONAL PARK, NT.
|
The Visitor Information Centre and National Park Headquarters Building at Kakadu is a large rammed earth project that highlights the ability of rammed earth to be used to promote the tourism industry. The unique construction process generates its own interest and becomes part of the tourist attraction as it offers an additional and often new experience to the public. Many wineries and public buildings built by us have also used Ramtec walls with this in mind. |
MODERN DESIGN, MANDURAH, WA.
|
This design illustrates the flexibility of designing and building using rammed earth construction. Various elements have been added, such as the stone fireplace and sharp, black aluminium window frames to give the home a modern, uncluttered feel. Ramtec pillars are a standard feature of many of our homes. Other rammed earth features include barrel vaults, arches, lintels, barbecues, floors, niches, and curved walls. |
HOLIDAY HOME, EAGLE BAY, WA.
|
This is one of the many holiday homes that have been built in Ramtec walling by us throughout WA. By using the roof space for an extra room, we constructed a loft at minimum cost. We always try to design for the maximum useful space and practical layouts at the minimum cost for our Clients. |
