EARTH ARCHITECTURE: better sleep comes from the walls

At Gandum, architecture isn't just "pretty." It's functional. And you feel it where it matters most: when you sleep.

The rooms at Claustro were built using rammed earth, a traditional material that works incredibly well in our climate. The walls have mass and thermal inertia. This translates into one simple thing: fewer temperature spikes and a more stable environment throughout the day and night.

The benefit for you

• Deeper sleep: when the room doesn't fluctuate so much between hot and cold, the body relaxes better. You sleep more continuously.

• Natural comfort: in summer, the room withstands the heat better; in winter, it maintains the temperature better. It feels like "home," not "air conditioning."

• Silence and a feeling of shelter: rammed earth creates a different physical and acoustic presence. Less echo, more calm.

Because it improves the hotel (and your stay)

When a building is naturally efficient, it requires fewer mechanical corrections to be comfortable. This means:

• less energy needed to keep the room comfortable

• less technical noise

• more consistency in the experience, even when the weather outside changes

It is a choice that takes effort and requires rigor. But that is exactly why it is worth it.

And the environment, of course

Building with local earth and low-impact materials reduces the construction footprint, especially when compared to highly cementitious and intensive solutions. But the point here is not to "appear sustainable." It is to be a building that works better, for decades.

In the end, that's what it is: it's not a concept. It's a room where you sleep really well.
