17. The Potter’s Terracotta Kiln House
What This Idea Means
An artistic, earthy dwelling featuring high-heat clay furnaces, clay drying yards, and warm, Mediterranean-influenced roof tiles.
How to Make It
Build the home framing out of acacia logs and uncolored terracotta walls. Build a massive multi-flued brick kiln attached to the side of the house, complete with smoking chimneys. Use granite, brick stairs, and terracotta tiles for the roof to create an earthy, sun-baked aesthetic.
Tips and Variations
- Place decorated pots, flower pots, and raw clay blocks around the kiln and patio area.
- Use mud bricks for interior courtyard walls to enhance the earth-toned palette.
- Variation: Create an outdoor pottery wheel using an armor stand glitched into a stone slab holding a clay ball.
Materials Needed
Terracotta, bricks, granite, acacia logs, clay blocks, decorated pots, campfires, and mud bricks.
