Mud houses are integral to the heritage of rural Bangladesh. Most of village houses have a small open ground in front and some have garden as well. Mud houses are quite comfortable to stay in during the winter and summer seasons; as they keep the temperature cool when it is hot outside and warm when it is cold outside. The simplest way to build stable foundations on soft clay is simply to dig deeper to find firm ground. This approach makes it possible to build a standard trench foundation that rests on stable ground, which should help to prevent subsidence and other issues traditionally associated with clay soils. People from all walks of life visit the site every day to experience this prime example of rural Bangladesh’s heritage firsthand.
