Mayhap the ultimate in Steampunk building and habitat architecture, Earthship houses and similar abodes are renewable, recyclable, reclaimable and built to an age old design.
Pure alchemy in it's form, made from Nature's and man made bounty. Changeable and malleable , adaptable to any climate and environment.
While man has been building houses of clay, straw, mud and any reinforcing he can find since time immemorial,
Mike Reynolds is the father of modern Earthship homes.(see image above) He has been establishing his vision of "off the grid" communities of sustainable dwellings around the world. Canada, US, the South Americas,Europe,Africa, reaching to New Zealand.
The castle below was built by a man who abandoned his family after discovering he had tuberculosis in 1927
During times of isolation, hardship and deprivation, men's work gangs, soldiers, marines and miners have used their down time and their ingenuity to build bottle house dwellings. Beer bottles being a prime resource in the male dominated environment.
Modern earth structures make use of what we have at hand. So much man made detritus that we take for granted can be recycled and re-purposed for new construction. Demolition & salvage building material through to tossed aside cans, bottles,tyres, any article that takes one's fancy
Rebuilding Haiti with Mike Reynolds
The interior design of earth homes can take on any form and flow that captures the maker's imagination. Bending and blending the boundaries of space and time.
Enter a whole new world and dimension
Are you ready to make your own mark on the landscape !
A bottle cathedral of light
The sustainable home system. Recycle the rain, sun and wind
Leading up a stairway to heavenly dreams and wild imaginings
Do these seats have an ejector feature?
