Rammed Earth House
Introduction
The aim of the Rammed Earth House competition is to design an experimental building made of rammed earth at a specifically selected location in the South-east region of Slovenia. Rammed earth is one of the most sustainable materials in the world, accessible practically anywhere, and its properties enable a healthy and sustainable living environment. Earth houses improve indoor air quality and are energy efficient.
The competition location is in the village of Dobrava near Škocjan, on a flat landscape near the river Krka. It is one of the few farms in the area that has retained the characteristics of an early 20th-century farm. Ten buildings in a typically clustered typology stand on the site. The western part of the location is forested. This part is the location of the Rammed earth house competition.
The Competition Task
The competition’s aim is to design one residential building for two people on a minimum area built of rammed earth. The maximum building area of the building must not exceed 30 m2. It can be located anywhere in the western part of the area, in the forest (see site plan).
The Program
The facility must provide living comfort for two people in accordance with modern criteria:
– Living area with mini kitchen and dining area
– Sleeping area for two people
– Sanitary facilities (shower, sink, toilet)
Instructions on living, sleeping, sanitary work are programmatic, not spatial. This is not a requirement for necessarily separate units, only a requirement for a function, which the contestants can design on their own.
The facility will be as self-sufficient as possible.
Materials and construction method
Applicants must predict rammed soil as the basic material of the building. Horizontal slabs as well as foundations can be wooden or concrete.
Organizers
The official organizer of the competition is Outsider magazine
Construction
The construction of the house is planned. The facility will become a starting point for measuring the material properties of compacted soil and preparing regulations and guidelines for construction from compacted soil in Slovenia.
Eligibility
The competition is open to all. No professional qualifications are required.
Schedule
December 31, 2020: Competition announcement and start of the registration.
February 20, 2021: Closing date for Questions and Inquiries.

March 30, 2021, at 23:59 CET: Submission deadline.
April 2021: Announcement of the winners.
Summer 2021: workshop of rammed earth technique on construction site.
