De la difficulté de faire construire une maison passive bioclimatique atypique (inspirée #earthship) : en permanence tiraillés entre #RE2020 (contre-productive parfois sur notre projet), artisans ou maître d'oeuvre peu ouverts, et notre volonté malgré tout de suivre les canaux traditionnels de construction (pas le temps ni l'envie de faire de l'autoconstruction).
Pratiquement 2 ans que nous avons trouvé le terrain, 1 an que nous l'avons acheté... et toujours pas de date début de chantier...

In this Earthship, witness the potential of harmonious, eco-friendly design respecting our planet's beauty and inhabitants' well-being. The exterior features a living roof, blending with nature, while the well-planned interior provides a calm, inviting atmosphere.

@Iragersh @bsmall2 oh so you're looking for a one-size-fits-all solution. interesting. a "sustainable urban lifestyle" in NYC wouldn't work for me in rural Vermont. However many aspects of my lifestyle are sustainable, low impact and renewable. I use nature as my measure. (in the ways that Wes Jackson and Wendell Berry teach). The vision of an #Earthship is to be sustainable and to meet the needs of that place -making each unique. So, for example, the one on Puerto Rico is hurricane proof, solar, multiple water collection & filtration receptacles and is surrounded by a food forest and gardens that grow native foods. it uses the cooler air from the ground to cool the living spaces. which is so important all year in a tropical climate. the specifics of that wouldn’t be useful to many places off the island/outside of a tropical climate. but the bigger ideas would be

the most impressive feature of the earthship design, IMO, is #bioarchitecture. they are built using trash/recycling and other non traditional materials. there is some real forward thinking around bio architecture that can be used in many different climates so i’d imagine in urban and rural places too.

thx for sharing your thoughts!

I love this so much and want something like it so bad, but I know that no one reading this is likely to have that option, and I'm again wondering about scalable #ecohousing on the #budget of an existing high rise :brain3:

Hey, here's an open question: do you ever think of things you would have to do to live in a #CarbonNeutral dwelling? Would you try retrofitting where you currently live, or try and move to a place that already is carbon neutral?

Examples of #retrofitting would be exchanging windows, adding extra insulation, installing a clean electricity source, exchanging appliances, and so on.

A place that's already carbon neutral could be a freshly built house/apartment building that uses the right materials, an #earthship something else.

The Washington PostThese homes are off-grid and climate resilient. They’re also built out of trash.By Nick Aspinwall

I love the core ideas of earthship's
Homes built out of readaly available materials built to provide insted of leach resources from the residents and Sustainable. I would like to see the cost go down but for what a earthship provides an argument could be made that supports the higher cost.

Im still obsessed with afordable sustainable housing with zero morgage.

New Earthships capture more energy, water & food at lower cost.
