Strata-banded in-situ rammed earth walls at Kalba Beach, Sharjah, as the roof slab is craned in
Our work — Kalba, Sharjah

Kalba Beach

In-situ stabilised rammed earth for Shurooq, built metres from the Gulf of Oman. Graded soil moistened to a precise water content and compacted in lifts between forms, until the wall carried its own strata as a record of how it was made.
