ReThinking Maasai Architecture, Cargotecture and Rammed Earth.

Container Housing

This is a brief reflection on whether we can combine Maasai Architecture with its love for dome shaped structures, the versatile Container Architecture and Rammed Earth.

Basic Idea
A heavily granulated rammed earth wall runs along the mid section of the house creating a beautiful headboard that is full of character and grace.
Vertical and Horizontal Cup-Tray Design to create storage space for the home office.
The rear entrance of the house features an L-Shaped Counter Topped Rammed Earth Wall. It creates a serving space and helps define the Kitchen Yard.

The house has provision for sleeping quarters, home office, a Kitchen, Dining Space and Lounge.
