I just love these house and sites that show how they were thought of and then constructed.

The shell house would be like living in a kaleidoscope of color bathed in shades of energy all day.

Boy if I were way younger I would find a fella who had the same values as me and whoo him into helping to build one to live and love in :lol: :oops:

I agree, the shell house is astounding. I've never seen a more welcoming and artistically pleasing home.

13 amazing facts about green roofs

By Damon van der Linde and Steven Peck of The Daily Green

What is a green roof?


A green roof is an extension of a new or existing roof that has:

A high-quality waterproofing and root-repellant system
A drainage system
Filter cloth
A lightweight growing medium
Plants

Green-roof systems may be modular, with drainage layers, filter cloth, growing media and plants already prepared in movable, interlocking grids. Or each component may be installed separately.

Green-roof development involves the creation of "contained" green space atop a human-made structure. This green space could be below, at or above grade. But in all cases, the plants are not placed in the ground.

Earth covered shelters have been used since the dawn of men.

Starting with caves and simple dugouts the technique was perfected in many countries around the world in traditional building styles.

The benefits of this technique got lost with a civilisation waging war on nature.


We need to build safer, more sustainable homes that work as an effective shelter against a harsher more unpredictable climate.


We believe Earth Covered Buildings are an ideal solution for comfortable living & working in many of the earth’s climate zones with numerous benefits for the occupants as well as the society/environment as a whole. With a shape that protects from the elements effectively, high thermal mass, geothermal heat exchange, smart home technology, the use of less and non toxic building materials, more practical use of the site, low impact design, extended service life and greater self sufficiency. These are some of the sustainable features inherent to an Earth Covered Building.


Building for a brighter future:

Aircrete -- a lightweight, strong, cheap, durable, fireproof, pest resistant, workable building material. It's basically concrete that has been mixed with air to make a concrete foam.

Live in your fort — every child's dream!

This one really appeals to me. I would want a wood burning stove in there to be really comfy, though if the little ceramic heater can do the job, then maybe not.
