Earthship Inman Valley SA
Earthship Inman Valley is a large family home in Inman Valley South Australia, designed by Dr Martin Freney of Earthship Eco Homes, construction by owner-builders Evie and Tris with licensed builder (supervising) Jackson Digney of Enduro Builders. It is essentially an "open-ended" Earthship floor plan with a strawbale open-plan living space at the west end of the home - this is to capture views to the south and west which is otherwise difficult to do with typical Earthship designs. It follows all the usual Earthship design principles and is a fully off-grid building. It is approved by the local council (Yankalilla). See the floor plan and images below.
The tyre wall (see drone footage below) was built by a team of volunteers in just four weeks in November 2020.
