As part of the “Eco-village for arid climates” project, the first prototype has been constructed. Currently, it’s a tiny hut with a rooftop veranda at our Middle Eastern branch. The temperature inside the cottage is not much different from what we have in a regular apartment one floor below, but that’s not surprising. The main advantage of adobe architecture is the absence of direct contact with the ground. Now we can test the material under real operating conditions. So far, the impression of the natural material of the walls and the natural textures is overwhelmingly positive.
