Rammed Earth House

This image is from a new series made on behalf of London's Tuckey Design Studio to record  Rammed Earth House in Wiltshire, UK. The commission was completed last summer at an unusual moment in the life of this project before the house was lived in: The resulting photographs are mainly concerned with light and materiality. 

Set on a former brickworks, the house has thick walls formed from layered rammed earth laid without joints. Inside, finishes of clay plaster, limestone, walnut, copper and oak sit alongside the rammed earth walls. 

The building was a finalist in this year's House of the Year from the Architectural Review, and has recently won a  Wallpaper* magazine design award for Best Use of Material.
