Rammed Earth

Contrasting expanses of glass and rammed earth wrap Bill Gawthrop and Diane Taylor’s home in Yorkville, California. The couple’s bedroom is located at one end of the house and their offices are at the other, with an open-plan kitchen, living room, and dining area in between. The bed frame is Gawthrop’s own design.

The facade of the home features rammed earth walls that were designed to blend in with the landscape.

Slot windows in the thick rammed-earth walls allows natural light to stream in, while still keeping the home nice and cool.

The terracotta latticework structure is used for the walls of the bathroom.

Rammed earth, brick and wood give the bedroom a warm, rustic atmosphere.
