If I built one.....

...it might look like this:

finally figured a way to make the berm....



Google sketch-up isn't the greatest, but it's kind of fun to play around with. At least it gives you a feel for real flow and scale in the application of an idea. 




I left out sky-lights and some other key components of the idea,  and a few things aren't strait. Spaces in the back of most rooms are closets/storage etc. the structure in the back is garage and storage...little courtyard in back w/ window to master was my idea, figured it would be nice in summer to have some airflow strait thru from the north. Other than that its a pretty basic 3 bed 2 bath earthship design, w greenhouse that can separate from house by sliding doors (the open spaces in my sketch-up) and large curtained interior windows.

  2. I like this. One thing I don't like about ours is these two goofy rooms with four steps down in the back. They seem very cave like and are colder. Yours would work well.
