Zero
Earthship Zero is loosely based on the "Encounter" Earthship designed by Michael Reynolds of Earthship Biotecture. In fact this Earthship was co-designed by Clive Digney (the owner), Michael Reynolds (Earthship guru/god-father), Martin Freney of Earthship Eco Homes, and Harrison Gardner the foreman of the project.
The Earthship East Augusta project is the first Earthship Biotecture project in Australia, and it was almost complete at the end of the four week workshop which was a "field study" for Earthship Biotecture Academy students. Over 50 people were onsite daily building this amazing Earthship which uses lots of salvaged Western Australian hardwoods.
The name "Zero"' comes from Clive's heating and cooling bill - which is zero!
