Passive solar design requires less energy but zero windows, just tubular skylights saves more. Why no water retention? What R-value do you have? Adobe does everything SIP does. Is it cheaper? Did you do a cost analysis?
It’s true. Natural alternatives could be straw, scoria, or hempcrete. It’s challenging to build something as energy efficient and easily as with SIPs using natural materials, but possible if you are dedicated.
Lovely Adobe style architecture. You guys should be proud.
Enjoy!
Awesome! I am so enthralled with Adobe 💚💫
There's nothing adobe about it !
But what is the cost per square foot and how many square feet is it?
I hope my wife and i can get a home like this before we're 65.
This is what I want built on my lot. Where is this, because I'd be looking for an architect and builder. Thanks!
Why not use adobe bricks ?

What are you talking about zero windows ?? The whole concept of passive solar is window letting in heat !?!?
ty for sharing
Is the home built on a foundation or a slab?
Cost b4 furnished
Excelente
Strawbale way to go hehe

Esa no es adobe
You could have built an earthship and it would have been more energy efficient, self sustaining and logical.
There are pro’s and con’s to both methods.
It looks like a lot of unhealthy toxic materials. Glued ply wood...

@@rowannadon7668 yes I live in the east coast and I can't find a builder at all to build me a Cob home for something close to it
Superadobe is a much better alternative.
