Earthship Island 3D Design Walk-through

[@artbyfaith]

Beautiful! I love it! They make me cry happy tears. So wonderful! I am so thankfully appreciating you, all of you that help Mr. Michael Reynolds. Bless all of you. Keep it up. Our planet needs us to help it and us survive in sustainable homes like these.

Greatest video on YT which offer in just 3 constructive minutes . Basic concept in 3D demonstration and exploration of building earthship .

[@earthship]

Thank you!

[@randomdude3228]

Brilliant, beautiful and functional

[@laurais4047]

Absolutely stunning adaptation to a tropical climate.

[@GreatBoneStructure]

Has anybody seen an earthship style house that uses shipping containers full of earth for it's thermal mass? Just daydreaming. Been a fan of Micheal since the freaking Whole Earth Catalog!

[@knowen32]

I as so on board with all of this, THIS is the future! :)

[@robertalexander2478]

AGREED!!!

[@earthship]

Thank you for your support. Come join us in Taos and learn to build an Earthship anywhere in the world!

I would like to see a combined two or three story earthship with vertical green house tower technology. It would greatly increase the space for growing food. Have the normal earthship but add to at least one side a multi floor vertical green house with a small spiral staircase or spiral ramp going up the different levels.

[@ethnodrew]

Nofretari, that’s been done, there are problems with going vertical unfortunately. Maybe you can figure it out! You’d have to deprecate the levels for sure, to keep from cooking the upper level-the top of greenhouses get hot af

[@earthship]

Thanks for your comment. We have built 2-3 story greenhouse structures on non-standard earthship models. They do perform well for food production but pose different issues for consideration such as TOO much solar gain. We have designed entire tiered cities of earth ships with bike paths through the open air greenhouses to connect the buildings.

[@theuglykwan]

@@earthship Would adding more whirly birds to the roof help reduce the temperature of the upper rooms? Or would that not be enough?

[@fahtimaali6392]

Wait for it... .yeeeees..This is Amazing cant wait to help build one of those

[@shanshine_intentional]

I am dying too see examples of village sized earthships! I would love to see this building style as an alternative option for low income housing. How would you make an earthships apartment complex of some sort? Can it be done?

[@texasscience6580]

beautiful!

[@billcawthorne3114]

My curiosity runs free watching this. Suppose I was able to obtain approval within an urban environment. What would your thinking be for a 100x100 ft suburban lot?

[@SneakXL]

I'd like more information about this design but the link above is not working.

[@Coopercaroline2000]

I have a quick question; I live in a subtropical area (New Caledonia) and was wondering if your structures could be a good option for us here?! There’s no winter, only hot summer, lots of rain during that season, and a cooler season (16 degrees Celsius at night)! If it can be built, which of your models and/or materials are appropriate?! Thanks in advance!

[@RickLeeofAtlanta]

How long do cooling tubes need to be, in order to be effective?

[@anakmuda3792]

Where is it located in Indonesia? I want to visit it..

[@spencerblack8098]

Fantastic !

[@pugchuglife9368]

how can i get on board this looks amazing, i wish this was in Australia

[@earthship]

Hey Hannah, we are building an earthship in Australia! Check out @eastaugustaearthship on Instagram for more details.

[@casuallyenlightenedtv]

Hey, who made this 3-D edit?! I’d love to talk to the person for a tutorial on the software etc. !

[@BenicioYT]

Belleza 👏 👏 👏

[@michaelglenning5107]

Love it! How about sleeping capsules/pods for visitor accomodations?

[@earthship]

Currently working on easy to repeat pattern designs that can share blackwater and grey water systems. Thank you for your comment.

[@aucarreau]

I have two questions. I want to build a retro u-model earthship. 1) You who live in these - how is it with dust in the corners (I know there are no corners) compared to a house with square rooms? As for me I am really oversensitive to loud. 2) Is it possible to build in the pumps to be completely loud isolated?

[@supernuts060]

Hi, Have you considered using Gabions instead of tires? I am skeptical about how "healthy" it is long term, to be surrounded by tires. I also think gabions would be less labor intensive. FYI in case you aren't familiar with gabions, they are steel cages filled with big rocks.

[@sabrinasimamora5358]

I'm from Indonesia, and I'm looking forward to be a volunteer, if there is a new project please give me some information, thanks😊

[@user-dd5kx5md5o]

I plan to do one in Bali in 2021

[@mimib6253]

Very cool

[@mimib6253]

Can't wait to see how it comes out once it's built!!

[@P.Ross192]

Bamboo cabana...yes, please!

[@ody2502]

Which part of indonesia? N how much it costs?

[@earthship]

Kenawa Island west of West Nusa Tenggara. Cost is highly variable depends on how much labor and recycled materials you have available.

[@FulltankH]

if someone wanna add more room i think they can just make it longer right ? or am i wrong hahaha

[@mariecuillier8788]

Nice design, but to my opinion, it lacks natural light.... And I like bigger greenhouse.☺

[@tusharkathuria9]

Which software is this?

[@teiko6374]

vous pourrais la faire en francophone svp

[@Coalition4NewerVision]

🙏🏻

[@tielore]

You mentioned the "Breeze-Maker" in the video, I've been following Earthship for several years now and haven't heard that term before. I googled it, in conjunction with earthship and couldn't find anything else on it, other than this video. Is this new technology? If so, how does it work? Looks like the top vent is painted black, and has rounded outlets that maybe cause a circular current of air as the hot air rises and passes out the vent? What is behind this new design for the vent?

[@dzikomuah3303]

Tyler Parsons Notice this home is for a tropical environment. Hence, the difference in design. There are more ventilation tubes and I can only speculate that the “breeze makers” help to release the heat and continually cool. I would like more information on the earthship design for tropical climates myself

[@HectorHugoLG]

The ventilation tubes are the weak point, they are just suspended in the mid air.

[@earthship]

They are actually buried into the berm and lodged mid wall which when finished is about 4' thick (not including the berm).

[@Hyperion_Studios1]

❤️

[@tybil214]

are you sure that roof connected to tires can manage to stand ? you design concept systems are good but you lack on structure basics.

[@earthship]

built 2 years ago, still standing

[@savagecub]

I thought earthships did not work in humid climates ? Why is the Florida one an EPIC FAILURE ? Look Mikey, they’re great in New Mexico and Colorado but humid climates.......not so much.

[@christinecaney9050]

Looks like a tiny house. Not that great.
