An earthship is a 100% off grid home build almost entirely from recycled materials.
This video features a 4 May 2010 walk through of the first earthship being build in the state of Florida USA with General Contractor Bryan Roberts with Eco-Tech Construction. Bryan successfully amended the FL state building code in order to pull permits on this project; essentially allowing alternative sustainable engineering to be directly adopted into code without red tape.
The 3,400 sq.ft home features 4 custom made domes, one to be placed in each corner. Inside a 16 X 38 ft greenhouse in the center of the home will be build over the constructed wetlands used for water filtration & food production. Outside the home Bryan explains the waste water treatment system.
Many of the off grid principels applied in this project have been further developed into a mass production cost effective building method soon to be announced. A major educational entertainment festival is also in the planning stages.
