Beautiful sustainable home located on an island with rooms to rent. This post comes from an ad on airbnb for rooms, in what they define as an “Earthship". A sustainable home mostly built from recycled materials, which utilises clean form of energy like the sun and recycles water (which is re-used to water the plants). It makes the most of the heat and the cold stored in the ground, to heat and cool the building during the seasons. The home is located on Prince Edward Island, which is one of Canada's eastern maritime provinces. We assume Island life to be slow, reflective and this home, just adds to the romantic view. That said there are lessons that can be learnt and it's nice to see that slowly city life if catching up to the idea of this kind of clean living, I hope we get there soon...

I love, really love Nader Khalili's earthbag houses. I know that we are broke and that we don't have the time to begin to build anything for now, but just look at this. Wow. Nader Khalili was an Iranian-American architect. In the 80s, he worked on lunar habitat - yes - and began building earthbag structures, that he called "Super Adobe". Those structures are today used as emergency shelters, because they resist to earthquakes and bombs. But some people build those ethical and very simple houses for themselves too. And the houses are so cool, and apparently easy to build, I would love building one on our little piece of land in Morocco. You just need bags, earth, and some wire too. This site, and this blog explain how you can do it yourself. There are also plenty of pictures on the website of the Californa Insitute of Earth Art and Architecture (Calearth), founded by Khalili. You can even buy, if you too are in love with those little houses, the bags from the website. So, will there be someday an earthbag house in Ouled Mgatel? Well, see for yourselves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M : Hey look, I just wrote a blogpost on earthbag houses. F : Oh yeah I know that stuff. He comes and looks at the computer screen. F : Wow! They're awesome! M : Yeah. I love this picture of the inside of a house. (Sigh) F goes back to his Arabic students. A few minutes later, he enters the room again with some kind of plan he just drew. F : What do you think, where do I put the kitchen? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18 Amazing and creative plans to build your own earthbag house that is inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and catastrophe proof.
The earthbag architecture village (Pod 1) is the first of seven different sustainable village models to be built. It consists of seventy-eight 150-200 square foot (14-18.6 sq meter) earthbag hotel room styled cabanas plus 4 shower domes and 4 toilet domes and the central Tropical Atrium. The living domes are arranged in three-dome and six-dome clusters with a central sitting area designed for relaxation, a fire pit, and/or growing a small shared garden. Once the straw bale village (Pod 2) is complete this village model will ultimately serve as a rental, student housing, and/or new Community Member living Pod. Visit our furniture design page for the furniture designs for these domes.
This beautiful earth bag home contains 450 ft² of space and was built for less than $5000. Recycled or salvaged materials were used wherever it was possible (i.e. the door and flooring).

Starting on a rubble trench foundation. Railroad ballast was used for the rubble... Covering over our sediment fabric with pea gravel...
