What are earth houses?

	Earth rammed houses are built with rammed earth walls. Even though rammed earth is one of the oldest building techniques used by man, rammed earth houses have only recently become popular again in Western countries. Rammed earth can be used not only for building houses, but also for other structures such as sheds or walls.
Why has there been a revival in houses packed with earth?
	A rammed house has many advantages, namely its cost and availability, since earth is a versatile and natural product.
	It has also become more popular due to the recent turn towards sustainable building. Thanks to the use of natural materials, a rammed earth home is much more environmentally friendly than traditional building methods, helping to address issues such as deforestation and toxic building materials and emissions.
	Another advantage of a rammed earth house is the relatively low cost of construction compared to other methods.
