Switzerland) since 1978.
Since the late 1970s, Peter Vetsch has made a name for himself with his earth house architecture. To date he's built over 47 earth houses in Switzerland and other countries throughout the world. Earth houses by Peter Vetsch are based on the interpretation of an environmentally conscious, ecological and progressive architecture. Next to the earth houses, Peter Vetsch also builds conventional houses.
With his technology (sprayed concrete constructions) he manages to create building shells which encompass maximum space volume with a minimum of surface area, an ideal form for energy saving. These constructions eschew right angles and their spatial diversity overcomes the the monotony of traditional normed designs. They remind us of
Antoni Gaudí's organic forms as well as
Jugendstil architecture.
