Earth House — living area with wood burner opening to the deck

Earth House

Wanaka · Residential

A remarkable small house built from rammed earth blocks. At just 120 square metres, Earth House is a 2–3 bedroom home that sleeps eight comfortably. The rammed earth walls bring unusual acoustic warmth and quiet — making the home feel solid, grounded, and deeply comfortable. A butterfly roof lifts to the sky, filling the interior with light. Texture, simplicity, and a sense of holiday living are at its heart.
