Whareuku Earth House ProjectWhareuku, or Earth House, is a University of Auckland collective founded to create a low-cost earthen housing solution for rural Maori communities. By the end of 2007 the project had successfully acquired a building consent for the proposed earthen structure and began construction in March 2008.
The objective of the whareuku construction is to create a simple and affordable modular building system that local people can build from local materials, with minimal need to draw on outside expertise like professional engineers or architects.
