Earthship Te Tematanga

The southern side of the house is dug into the bank, with layers of waterproof membrane carefully inserted between land and tires to ensure no moisture seepage. The subfloor was lined with mussel shells (a local waste product, adhering to the couple’s philosophy throughout the construction process) and more waterproof membrane before concrete was laid. For the interior walls, the family scored secondhand mud bricks that were left over from a friend’s earlier building project. Nothing was wasted: Even the broken bricks were mixed into a slurry for plastering the walls.Pallet furniture: Industrial Design NZ; mud bricks: Solid Earth
