EarthBnB - bushfire resilient tiny home
EarthBnB is the lastest and greatest design from Earthship Eco Homes - CLICK HERE to learn more
Earthships were invented in the USA in the 1970s. Now, they have come to Australia and have been adapted to the harsh Australian climate and strict building codes.
This type of "earth sheltered" building is ideal for:
energy efficiency (naturally stable indoor temperature)
bushfire resilience
water efficiency
going off-grid (or grid connecting and earning money from your surplus energy)
Earthships have some very special design features that you don't usually find in other "sustainable" homes:
A "greenhouse" (sun-room) on the north side which brings the beauty of indoor plants, fresh air, and natural light into every room. The perfect place for yoga and sun-bathing!
A zero-energy, air-conditioning system uses underground "earth-tubes" to bring fresh air into every room.
A greywater diversion system enables you to irrigate your indoor garden for free - every time you take a shower, or do a load of washing you are irrigating your banana plants! (or avocados, tomatoes, herbs, flowers...)
do-it-yourself construction methods - save money by building your house with your new friends!
Natural and recycled construction materials - good for the planet and good for your health.
Naturally stable indoor temperature - most Earthships only have a small wood fire for those cold winter days when the sun don't shine.
Zero energy and water bills!!! Earthships are fully self-sufficient in power, water and sewage treatment.
