Rammed Earth Walls Surround This House In Australia

Luigi Rosselli Architects have shared photos of a home they renovated in Sydney, Australia, that had rammed earth walls added.

The original home, whose design was akin to that of a drilling platform, had two existing floors hovering above, and was entirely disconnected from its surroundings.

The updated home now includes a further two floors to allow for a direct link to the garden.

Visitors are greeted by the top level of the house, where the warm and welcoming colored rammed earth walls are clearly visible.

Inside, there’s a linear staircase that cascades down to the different levels of the house.

Above the stair is a deep void capped with a large skylight that allows natural light to flow down through each level.

The descent is easy and comfortable and leads first to the main living-dining-kitchen area, and then on again to the lower floors which house a guest bedroom, a sunroom, and a gym.

In the living room, there’s a pair of couches, as well as a casual dining area and a fireplace.

Behind the living room, there’s the kitchen, with tall wood cabinets and a peninsula that provides additional seating. A vertical window adds additional natural light.

A fireplace on the opposite side of the wall to the kitchen and living room introduces the dining room.

The double-height dining room has a long horizontal light that hangs above the dining table, while a single chair with a side table creates a place for a quiet moment.
