"Compressed earth blocks – CEB was adopted as a material for the Façade. Double wall with CEB which formed the outer layer were skewed, twisted, or tapered to achieve variation and to form a multi-facetted façade. These blocks were produced at this very site using the same soil of the site and are naturally compressed and sun dried. Use of green materials were not only restricted to the façade but also regular masonry work inside the building were done using fly ash bricks."
