This 3,000-square-foot home in Vadodara, India, with three bedrooms and a pool, was built for a couple with two sons. They wanted an eco-friendly, well-ventilated home with plenty of natural light and an aesthetic blending with nature. โ€œThe layout is a simple one, divided in two blocks โ€” one with all the living areas and the other with bedrooms. Between the two sit the leisure components of the pool and a gazebo,โ€ says Dharam Patel, the architect. Patel used gabions as screens to provide p...

Inspired by the church missions built in the 18th century in California, Dave Wills thought โ€œIf they can last that long, it must be a solid way to build,โ€ explaining why he looked into rammed earth to build his dream home in Philomath, Oregon. The walls are made from earth from a nearby quarry, a small percentage of Portland cement, small amounts of color pigments, a special acrylic sealant, and lots of labor. Builder John Richards and Wills worked with an engineer and tested the earth and c...

The 15th-century Chhode monastery is tucked into a side valley of remote Mustang, a district in northern Nepal. The monastery, with walls formed of clay and gravel, blends in with the wind-beaten cliffs; its towering roof is held up by wooden pillars. Inside the monastery, a monk is performing a ritual prayer ceremony before a crowd of crimson-robed devotees of Tibetan Buddhism. The sound echoes within the crusty earthen walls. The dome-shaped ceiling is covered with paintings of fearsome creatu...

Flow House is a contemporary home with a unique facade that embraces sustainable design and passive air flow. It is located just outside of Da Nang City, Vietnam (known for its high temperatures and humidity), and is made up of three structures that aid the flow of air from one section to the other. The unique architectural design of the dwelling has been created to shield the home from the sun and mitigate its west-facing facade, thus providing even and cool interior temperatures all year round...
