The small Earthship home was built by Martin and Zoe, as a challenge to create Australia's first council approved Earthship. Together (and with a lot of volunteer labour) they have worked within the system to create a truly impressive small home.

This Earthship is filled with impressive off-the-grid technology, including solar power, rain-water collection, grey water filtration and much more. The home also uses clever passive technologies such as it's passive solar design and even a natural cooling system using underground tubes. Beyond all that though, it's beautiful. The design and finish of this home are sure to leave you impressed! I hope you enjoy the full tour of this amazing small house!

I love that he had volunteers helping. We should all be helping each other build our houses and gardening together. It’s sad people spend 30 years paying off a mortgage.

"Someday, bureaucracy will kill us all" - truer words were never spoken!

I knew a lady when I was a kid who had an earthship home. I remember walking near it, and starting a conversation with her. It was in a small town in the 1970's where kids engaging in conversation with adults wasn't such a dangerous thing. She and I became friends and I was so enamored by her home that she let me come inside and have a look around. She was very proud of the place and I could understand why, it was absolutely beautiful. This video reminds me of that time.

I could totally see myself living in an earthship home. I love all the glass and plants and the underground part gives a sense of calm and safety. Love the bottle walls too.

You need a Netflix series cause these videos are so well made ♥️

Wake up Councils! Reward people who want to repurpose water
-
Amazing that volunteers helped. Kind people, kind heart, incredible home...wish I could build something similar! This is incredible!
-
OMG! The energy of these two together is an example of perfection in action!
-
air conditioning and water recycling are the most impressive things for me. that's what i'd like to learn
-
My favorite house ever. I felt like my soul just screamed - yes.
-
This is by far the nicest looking earthship home I've seen.
-
I love at 11:24 where Martin is smirking while talking about the earth tubes. You can see he is really passionate about this and loves creating ways to improve the house. He’s so clever!!

My husband and I envisioned thirty plus years ago, a heating and cooling system that is like this a/c system. We were discouraged from trying it because people said it wouldn't work. They all said you had to use a liquid system to transfer thermal mass temperature. We wanted to bury tubes deep enough to take advantage of the earth's natural constant temperature. I knew it would work, thank you for showing me it does.

Most ancient Indian palaces had natural air conditioning systems. The artwork reminds me of an artwork called as Lippan Kaam which originates in Kutch (Gujarat, India) where there are lots of mud houses too :) I can't get enough of this show!! I found this one most intelligent.. Also because it's so much in harmony in nature! Beautiful too!!
-
Congratulations!!! Ancient civilization's knowledge about building, which we "forgot", in modern architecture. So nice to take benefit from it!!!!!

Loved the conversation on grey water. My mom had a great set up at one house that the clothes washer would pull the water into the utility sink next to it and then you could use that water again. It was awesome for doing a load of clothes and then a load of bath mats. It saved us from using a good amount of water and nice because we were on a well. I never have seen that set up again, and it made such sense!
-
I love that Bryce and Martin feel such ease communicating with each other, almost like they are old friends. You really feel Martin's passion for earthships, and his home is so, so beautiful.
-
Going full circle... The more advanced humans become, the more we return to ancient know-how. This house has been eye-opening for me. Never heard of an earthship before :)
-
I can see how much love and support have been put by other people to help them build this beautiful earthship. Also happy to see Tadlak from Morocco, this home reminds of my grandfather house which was based on ancient Moroccan build process, all ecological so cold during hot weather and so warm during cold weather. So much we left behind from our ancestors all around the world. So much love for this home ❤️

Its so interesting that australians can use the ground as air conditioner / cooler while in Norway we use the earths heat as a warming system!
