What do you think is the biggest obstacle preventing people from coming together to create affordable, imaginative communities from scratch? Is it strict building codes and regulations, a lack of initiative, a lack of trust among people, or the demands of modern life that leave little time to rethink the basics? Share your thoughts below!

I think more and more people are interested in creating community in some way. What that means is different for everyone, but we've definitely seen a lot more interest in any form of cohousing, whether that is simply a condo with extras or some more formal community for helping raise young children.

Yeah, all those factors. I think until society invests in promoting alternatives like this, it will remain rare. California’s relaxing of rules restricting ADUs is the sort of thing that encourages outside the box approaches to shelter, but we need so much more than that to overcome the dominant paradigm.

In the US, zoning laws and building codes are the biggest obstacles. Zoning laws often mandate - minimum lot sizes, - maximum building heights, - minimum parking requirements And they often ban - unrelated people living together - severely restrict mixed use (business and residential) - alternative building methods (cob, strawbale, superadobe, etc). See Jason Sorens work on zoning in New Hampshire for an example of the ways such regulation stifle new/innovative housing. For example, see Sorens article titled "To get more housing, NH must fix local regulations". Sorens writes about New Hampshire, but the pathologies are common to most US cities. IMO, US cities should move more toward Japanese-style zoning. See the article titled "Japanese zoning" by Urban Kchoze. Among other differences: "...Japanese do not impose one or two exclusive uses for every zone. They tend to view things more as the maximum nuisance level to tolerate in each zone, but every use that is considered to be less of a nuisance is still allowed. So low-nuisance uses are allowed essentially everywhere. That means that almost all Japanese zones allow mixed use developments, which is far from true in North American zoning." Cochise, AZ's zoning laws are a step in the right direction as well: they exempt owner/builders with at least 4 acres from construction plan review and inspections.

Building codes, fees, high permit costs has definitely decimated innovation in home building especially in people barely getting by. Things definitely need to change, this man is a gem, hope his voice is heard. We need more like him and we need better skills taught in building like this, just beautiful.

Do you think he might invite an apprentice? We have Arcosanti here by me. It’s amazing, ya. And a community. But it’s become something else. A bit commercial in a way that now gives it less community or more posh exclusivity, it is not how it began. As is Sedona. When we allow capitalism to become the community motivation we lose the community.

Having the fridge go through the wall like that is incredibly smart.. What he is saying makes sence.. In summer when its on, the radiator on the back removes the heat and pushes it outside so the house does not get even warmer, and in winter, he turns it off, but due to the back of the fridge being outside, the cold comes into the fridge from the back, but it does not go further and into the house, since the door and such of the fridge, is insulated.. thats so smart

I had a similar thought last summer and was wondering why nobody is doing that, now I feel vindicated! The only issue I see is that during summer you will need more energy since it is probably hotter outside than inside - though I guess his solution is about as close to optimal as possible, with the clay and the overhang keeping temperatures managable around the fridge.

It IS a good idea, but could probably be improved. I would make an insulated box over the back of the fridge that could easily be opened and closed, and perhaps eventually automate it with a thermostat, and also automate when to power the fridge. Because the temperature could vary pretty much during the change of seasons. Also; if you power up a refrigerant-compressor in to low temperature, the viscosity of the oil in the compressor is to low for lubricating enough, it will reduce the life of the compressor.

I have studied about the ecovillage systems and passive solar houses thru out the world, but I believe this is the most efficient house I have ever seen. I am totally fascinated by his efficiency and design. His use of natural materials is stellar, especially the muscle shells!!!! His use of gray water in his greenhouse is stellar!!! I use all our urine as fertilizer here on our small farm. Our small pasture near my house is so green and much more productive than the rest of the farm that is not part of the gray water system. I would love to study from this man and incorporate more of his techniques on our land. Thank you Kirsten for spotlighting this innovative place💕💕💗

Love that greenhouse - my highschool had greenhouse we called the "green machine", it was a series of septic 8 septic tanks that processed the school's sewage with plants and animal life. The first two tanks were closed, and each step introduced slightly more complex life. By the end we were left with water cleaner than the streams outside and used it to grow food hydroponically. The whole thing cost about $50,000 to set up for a school of 200 students and teachers.

Does not include $ for food, clothing, repairs, lawn, medical. It’s expensive just to exist these days.

In Australia, we just keep building wider instead of using every metre of land ...the water, urine and feces system alone for his greenhouse would be a good study in the breakdown of our waste, and the processes it needs to go through for plants and nature to use. He's consuming the produce, so the next step is testing it with the market produce and their standars of quality and prove that there are alternatives Because a lot of us were born into a consumerist world, we need reminders like these people, by Dirksen fam-types, to show alternatives be a standard too I like that theyre minimal in plastics and waste, too

But building codes serve a purpose also. When one cannot design and build one’s own home, one must rely on builders to build safe homes. The unscrupulous nature of so many humans would result in many builders producing unsafe homes. Thus codes. This village is a utopia but will not scale to the needs of the global population. But it can serve as an incubator for better ideas in sustainable and scalable housing. These techniques can then be become part of the required building codes.

Haha! I spent a week here two summers ago. Cool concept. I definitely felt kind of stuck being all the way out there. Also there’s a vibe of competition between home builders, who’s more sustainable, which feels a little uncomfortable/counterproductive. FYI, they don’t use the mussel shells foundations anymore, because they collapse and degrade and the house slumps and cracks. The fellow I was staying with had a big cob house, and they chopped down a massive living oak tree to use as the main support. It was really sad actually, that somehow “sustainability” justified killing this beautiful old tree.. maybe that’s not now all of friland thinks, but that’s the vibe I got

I live in Toronto, Canada. The biggest obstacle for me is rent. My partner and I pay almost 3K CAD per month for a small two bedroom for us and our 5-year-old daughter. The neighbourhood is wonderful - walkable, with great parks, schools, coffee shops and local grocers, and a lively and supportive community. My work keeps me downtown (I am a writer, but I work in contemporary art), so we have to pay to stay here, for now. I keep a flourishing edible garden in my small backyard and this connects me and my child to nature, and to the principles outlined in this video. I believe a better future is possible. We can all begin by reading more, having conversations with our neighbours, and volunteering/contributing to our local communities and economies.

Steen is an incredible man and he has challenging conventions for decades now. A lot of Friland and the creation of the village has been documented by TV programs. There has been made many about the construction for instance the little windows in the walls of “Frilandshuset” with the different insulations. Different types of waste water system. For years there was a gardening and cooking program there was made at Friland it was called “Frilandshaven” (the garden of friland). Steen has also debated and challenged politicians over the years on tv. He is a power house and a wealth of knowledge, he has invented, reinvented, reimagined and inspired for years. He is truly inspirational and he challenges you to rethink your comsumerous ways.

The wastewater system especially is perfect and amazing! Reminds me of John Todd's Living Machines in Vermont and the Rich Earth Institute, also in Vermont. Urine is not waste, it's nutrients for plants!

I really enjoy your of showing different ways of living. The biggest obstacle to this way of living is greed. We are all living for ourselves and we will never have peace this way. We would benefit in every way if we could leave behind our greed and live together in peace

Exceptional, but i did not understand how the plants in the greenhouse take the waste water from the underground pool he made... Is it like a hydroponic system or what?

Probably something like that. But he only talked about washing water and pee, and didn’t explain what they did with their poo. Semi-solid, Harder to handle

@@AreHan1991 i am thinking that the human poo is probably used like horse poo or cow poo to enrich the soil.

Would love to see more of Friland's homes, how they are constructed, lessons learned from these "experiments," and how they are maintained and repaired.

It’s a fairly big place. We’ll post other examples from this place as standalone videos, for they are information-rich and very unique and innovative. You could spend a whole year in Friland and miss some details of this evolving community.
