The walls of the building are designed and serve as
thermal barriers to prevent excess heating of the
building during the long and harsh summer the site
experiences. The walls and foundation were designed as
double layered masonry using local riverbed stone with
Sketch of Dual Wall System a layer of brick on the internal face. For structural
support 50mm thick stone ties were added at intervals
tying together the dual wall system of stone and brick.
The overall width of the wall is 450mm providing ample
insulation and passive cooling to the building. Tie
stones are used to create an elevational band as well
as double up as sills and lintels. Additionally, single
reinforcement earthquake columns were placed in the
wall to follow earthquake design codes for the region.
The slab is designed as a filler slab made with earthen
pots placed in an RCC structure. Due to reduction of
the self load of the slab, the thickness could be
reduced as well as the overall consumption of material.
