Houses made from mud commonly called "Atta Kwame" are ancient and traditional buildings mostly found in villages in Ghana.
[1][2] People from Ashanti region in Ghana believe that houses made from mud are for the poor and could not create beauty and good living conditions for long-term.
These houses are not enough protected from the rain and large surfaces of mud or concrete are not flexible enough and has tendency to crack.
This soil is enhanced by natural additives that are locally available like rice husk, paddy straw, etc.
The soil is tempered by thoroughly breaking up, watering and kneading and moulded into compressed stabilized earth blocks, which are reusable and have high heat resisting capacity, thus slowing down the rate of temperature changes in the ambient air.
