SUSTAINABLE ACCOMMODATION
Constructed from rammed earth
Mayan Luxe Villas is constructed with rammed earth from Mayan Farm.
Increasingly seen in contemporary architecture, rammed earth is a sustainable building material due to its thermal mass, strength, durability and visual impressiveness. Rammed-earth houses have a natural warmth and beauty that help them blend with their surrounding land and natural environment. They are naturally cool in summer and warm in winter.
This construction technique has been around for thousands of years and makes up long stretches of the Great Wall of China, the magnificent Kasbahs of Morocco and the enchanting Alhambra in Spain.
The rammed-earth walls were constructed on-site by ramming an aggregate mixture, including gravel, sand, silt and clay – otherwise known as “between formwork”. After removing the formwork, the stunning effect of the rammed-earth walls is revealed.
