Earthbag houses in Ghana

“The Mahali Project was our first project that utilized the earthbag building technique. Its Located in the Eastern Region of Ghana near the Township of Akosombo on a beautiful site set on the banks of the Volta River with Mountain Views and just a short canoe ride away from Ghana’s Hydroelectric Dam.

Here we built two structures: The First is a Modest One Bedroom Studio Home that is approximately 1000 sq. ft., with an open plan Main Space for the Living/ Dining/ Kitchen areas, and a Garage/ Work Shop space.

The Second structure is a Round Thatch covered Mud Hut inspired by Traditional structures, also built by the earthbag technique with an internal diameter of 16 ft. and a Second Floor Loft/Attic space.”
