Earth-Ship is using rammed earth to attach an old 'stilt house' to the cliffs near Sydney's harbor. This will help to revitalize and anchor the building to the ground, making it more stable and easier to keep up.

From the architect: Earthships are a type of architecture that was developed in the late 20th century. They focus on using both natural and recycled materials to create sustainable, passive dwellings. Earthship design is based on the idea that an existing home can be revitalized and reconnected to its surroundings by using this design approach. The Earth-Ship by Luigi Rosselli Architects is a great example of this.
Luigi Rosselli doesn't like "pole houses," which are houses built on tall poles so you can look down on the landscape from above. So Earthship added a second floor below the house so you can be close to the garden.
When people visit Earth-Ship, they come from the sky and wind their way up a long, steep driveway. Once they arrive at the courtyard, the landscaping makes it look like the home is resting. The walls that form the home's exterior are painted a warm, welcoming color, just like the walls at one of the Casa Malaparte's villas on Capri. Guests enter the home through the front porch.
When you visit someone's house, you'll walk down a long, straight staircase. At the bottom of the stairs is a large, light-filled space. The space leads to different rooms on different levels of the house. The stairs are easy to walk down and are comfortable to use.
Each floor has a balcony with a nautical-inspired design. There are also several tiers of terrace decks with a natural appearance. This design is less pronounced than the design for the Cottage Point house, which was designed by Luigi Rosselli Architect in the 1980s and built on a slope near Mount Ararat. Earth-Ship has a more earthy look than Cottage Point.
Earth-Ship is a home designed by Nicola Ghirardi, Romaine Alwill, and Will Dangar. It is very warm and comfortable, and it is perfect for people who live there.
