At Tao Garden we use Adobe Brick for the accommodation’s construction. Adobe bricks are a fireproof, durable yet biodegradable, non-toxic building material which provide sufficient thermal mass to buildings to ensure excellent thermal performance. Other benefits include low sound transmission levels through walls and a general feeling of solidity and securityDue to the production process and the nature of clay, Adobe bricks have good water resistance. Nevertheless it is very important to provide adequate weather protection of the earth walls, especially in exposed situations. This is normally done with the provision of adequate eaves. Moreover, the process of making Adobe brick is environment safety which has no burn, just wait until it dries in the sun, also it can avoid using wood for fuel and no smoke as well.

Dirt suitable for adobe brick should have a high enough clay content to help the brick resist moisture and provide strength to the brick. The problem is that dirt with too much clay in it will crack upon drying. If dirt has too much clay, one must add sand to it or dried grass; sand is the better additive. Dirt with too little clay will mean that the dried brick will be too brittle to use. Experience has shown that cement added to a standard adobe mixture can all produce a strong brick. For Tao Garden, our composition are clay 70%, sand 15% and cement 15%.
