BIND Constructions has started the construction of a new project designed by renowned architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. Located in Comporta, this development stands out for its innovative use of rammed concrete, a material that merges the tradition of earth-based construction with the modernity and strength of concrete.
What is Rammed Concrete?
Rammed concrete is an evolution of the traditional rammed earth technique, used for centuries in sustainable construction. This method involves layering low-consistency concrete, which is then manually compacted. The result is robust, textured walls with a natural finish, delivering both authenticity and a contemporary aesthetic.
One of the main advantages of this material is its thermal and acoustic efficiency, making it an excellent choice for sustainable buildings. Additionally, rammed concrete reduces the project’s ecological footprint by using less cement and more natural materials.
The Project in Focus
For this project, Souto de Moura chose rammed concrete to create a structure that harmonizes with its surroundings and enhances integration with the natural landscape. The material gives the building a unique character, with an interplay of shadows and textures that shift throughout the day, highlighting the beauty of the construction.
With a minimalist design and high-quality materials, this project is yet another example of the sustainable and innovative architecture that BIND Constructions is committed to delivering.
