Otto Cottage - Paul Marais. Maun, Botswana.

Otto Cottage is a small house in Maun Botswana made of natural materials comprising rammed earth, timber and locally harvested reeds. This water and waste neutral building minimises its impact both in its construction process and its ecological approach to energy consumption, demonstrating what can be achieved with natural materials in harmony with the environment, while being beautifully seductive at the same time.
