“Towards Sustainable and Net Zero Living”
Derek “Deek” Diedricksen visits an Earthship (the architectural brainchild of Michael Reynolds) in taos, new Mexico. The particular model, like many others, features earth berm air intakes, a water recycling system for its grey water, and the luxury of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and even a two car garage! Ashley Turin gives us a full out tour of this, one of the newest Earthship builds on the Taos compound. This sustainable and passive solar home just may give you a few ideas for your own future designs.
Good video
Most of this design is 5-10 years old.
Crazy as its sounds, but this is the future, as is now compared to traditional housing
Wonder if this type of build could be done on the east coast?
Just wondering if they offer the use of compost toilets? Wouldn’t that conserve more water?
This is SO cool. Do you have to join some kind of a cult to live there? Because I would consider it.
Great video! Love this concept of living. Thanks for sharing it!
Incredible!
OMG Absolutely bloody stunning!!!! Ashleigh blew me away with her knowledge and her articulation, huge kudos to her. I would love to be able to afford an earthship for a home here in Australia. Michelle
i’d still have a woodstove in there just in case
Loved this tour! We visited the same community in May and toured the sample earthship that is a similar design. Neat to see it as an actual home.
Beautiful.
I like the concept of earthship homes just not a fan of the aesthetics in general.
How do they avoid the tires off-gassing? They just, do that. And tires are in fact flammable.
VIEGAS are made of pine.
VIEGA is a SUPPORT BEAM in english.
The mud we use to “paint” or “fill in” cracks or spaces hardens….we can also make bricks made out of mud n water…. by molding them, then having them “bake” in the sun.
Amazing Tech ,Hot babe as well lol
GENIUS AT WORK, the human brain at it’s full potential. BRAVO!!!
She’s a good guide, very easy to listen to! I find earthships so intersting
Cute host 🙂 nice house too
Very nice tour! I saw some fairly big electric demands for an “off grid” home without any mention of big battery banks…I’m wondering if it might be actually on the grid but with solar assist?
