The off-grid Earthship community in New Mexico is an otherworldly desert landscape

Earthship .

Approaching Earthship in Taos, New Mexico, at dusk, landscape photographer Victoria Sambunaris (featured in our Wallpaper* USA 400, a guide to creative America) began to make out the gently sloping profiles of homes, buried in folds of a dune-like landscape. ‘It was like entering some other country, the architecture revealing itself as part of the earth, but of the earth from the earth,’ she says.

Founded in the 1970s by architect Michael E Reynolds, the Earthship community in Taos uses everything from the power of the wind and sun to recycled coloured glass bottles to create unique self-sufficient dwellings (Image credit: Victoria Sambunaris)
