Recycled Materials
This type of home takes lots of work but the results can be very comfy.

The
old fashioned wood stove along with the hydronic in floor heating system
will keep this earth ship home very warm in the winter. Sturdy earth filled
used tires were built up in order to provide the walls between main rooms.
The concrete roof was poured while the earth lay underneath. Once the
concrete had set the earth was removed. Round holes on these earth covered
roofs will allow light into the middle of the main rooms. |

The
posts used to allow a walkway between main rooms is an old maple tree
the further reinforces the close links to nature. |

Up close
you can see the pop cans and tires crammed full with earth and a cement
stucco. After several layers of stucco these walls will look a bit like
adobe style with lots of wonderful curves. |
