biography
Karina is the founder and creative force behind Earthy Haus, a Blue Mountains–based design practice exploring the intersection of design, building science and human wellbeing. Her work is grounded in a deep sensitivity to place, materiality and atmosphere, creating homes that feel quietly restorative, enduring and intimately connected to the landscape around them. As a Certified Passivhaus Designer and accredited building designer, she approaches sustainability not as an aesthetic trend, but as an essential framework for healthier living and a more thoughtful built environment. Through a balance of high-performance design, natural materials and refined spatial simplicity, her practice advocates for homes that nurture comfort, calm and a deeper relationship with nature.
