2. Buddhist's Home in Utah One of the most unique aspects of this Buddhist's home in Utah is the way the walls seem to rise up from the ground. The house seems to be made from the rock upon which it sits. This happens through construction with gabion walls — large stones are held in wire baskets. Imbue Design The texture of gabion walls comes from the color and size of the stones and the type of basket — here rusty. While normally used for retaining walls and highway embankments, gabion walls are somewhat popular in buildings. But given fire codes, they can't be the primary structure (lest the baskets fail and the stones tumble), and the stones do not protect or insulate nearly well enough to be used for a primary wall. In this house they are on the face of a solid wall that is more typical on the inside. Nevertheless, nothing else out there looks like a gabion, if that is the look you are going for.
