The layers of compressed earth that make up the wall are visible across both the exterior and interior of the residences. Its red colouring comes from the locally sourced clay, which is bound together with gravel from the bed of an adjacent river and water from a local bore hole. The shape of the outer wall affords residents a degree of privacy and shade from their neighbours. Each unit has its own private terrace sheltered below a bronzed metal awning, and a shared garden.
