Environment Friendly construction.
This earthbag house located in Kericho, Kenya was designed by Architect Francis Gichuhi Kamau of www.a4architect.com. The use of soil as a major component in house building is very environment friendly.
In the wake of the Corona virus pandemic whereby imported building materials are hard to come by, use of locally available materials such as soil comes a long way in ensuring housing availability for all.
Natural Ventilation to keep internal air healthy.
The windows at the tip of the dome also make it easier for cross ventilation of the interior spaces hence keeping respiratory illnesses at bay.
Sunlight to sanitise internal air.
The skylight at the tip of the dome and in the middle of the living room brings in natural sunlight which is very effective in sanitizing interior air hence keeping respiratory diseases such as Corona virus away.
Room temperature.
The thick walls enable the room temperatures to keep warm when cold and cool when hot outside, giving the occupants very good living conditions that ensure respiratory diseases such as corona virus are kept at bay.
