Meta-dove and house is an 18-cell strict still life consisting of a dove and a house stabilising each other. It is one of four ways in which a dove and a house can be arranged to create a still life, and one of the three which have two separate islands.

This specific isomer is named meta due to the two inducting faces not being skewed from each other.

Meta-dove and house is the 34th most common 18-cell still life.

A 5-glider synthesis for this still life was found in July 2020.[1]
