Walter Residence

This 800sf home is the epitome of local materials and chemical-free design. The walls are stabilized rammed earth with a lime plaster finish on the interior…no drywall or typical wood trim was used. The earthen walls were formed with beveled details at the openings to celebrate the structure. The design incorporates two covered porches to enjoy the surrounding land, a 200sf loft, reclaimed heart-pine woodwork, and a passive solar/cooling design. The exterior patio was built by the students of American Building Arts College, lead by April during one of her courses.
Builder: Joe Faust.
