The Sand Castle

Turner and Karnaky's rammed-earth home is on Mount Desert Island in Maine. Their home's walls have a rougher look than rammed earth typically does, due to a few changes their builder made to the typical process.
"They told us after they could sandblast the imperfections," Turner said, "but we said, 'Don't you dare.'"
Turner and Karnaky liked the rustic quality it gave their home, which they complemented with recycled lumber floors and nonstructural wooden accent beams on the ceiling. They avoided overly furnishing the home to emphasize the qualities of the house itself.
