Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for your response.  The rammed earth walls would not be load bearing at all  and would be between 80 to 50 cm away from the earth... The vegetal roof would go 1 m further over the gap onto the ground which is flat.  I suppose a french drain between the earth and rammed earth wall  at its foot would be clever?
Ventilating would need to be an important aspect...
A run off away from the vegetal sedum roof also on the outside .. it doesn't really flood as I live on a hill water stays in a few Puddles but mainly rolls off down the hills

Hi, am curious on people's thoughts on rammed earth underground away from earth and not as load bearing. So without filling the space between earth and rammed earth( which would just be walls as stone column s would be load bearing of roof. As it's on a hillside,one side earth, two sides sloping down hill and one facade all windows.
Ventilation windows on top of rammed earth on earth side . Two sloped roof one  vegetal and the other polycarbonate for light.. just checking out the whole idea as I'd like to not build great big concrete walls.. thanks for your advice
