That is so beautiful, because and in spite of it being a "working" home. It really is charming. These kind of homes are becoming my favourite, I think.
The extraordinary benefits of straw bale housing cannot be overstated. (Don't get caught up in thinking straw construction can only be used as infill). The physical sensation of living in the quiet and warmth of a straw structure is profoundly nurturing. Many states code straw bale without extra permitting or building requirements. Several major insurance companies cover straw as well.
You have to have a structural “skeleton “ to support the weight of the roof as this person has done. If not, then in an earthquake the roof will end up on the floor with you crushed in between the two. Straw alone cannot safely support a roof.😊
Comfy home that doesn't poison the habitants, saves energy and uses sustainable materials and off grid! So many wins!! Outstanding!! One question though...how does the hold up in large snow storms and heavy winds like hurricanes and tornadoes?
Gorgeous home. When we had our straw house we incorporated a thermal mass wood stove. Basically the only emissions from it was a bit of body temperature steam.
On Puerto Rico the greywater went directly to my parents garden in their retirement home. 30 miles south of Boston, the grey water from my home is used to water the lawn.
Greetings from oakville Ontario Canada there's a home built from straw and mud and other environmental materials because the owners wife had allergies to normal building materials thanks for the presentation
0453. Great to see as these elevate the ground area up but retain the flowers and plants growing areas to support the insect life etc. You end up retaining this after the build. 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤. Laurie. NZ.
thermal mass is not disproven. it is just that it is suitable only to certain latitudes/annual weather patterns. eg in the tropics you build high on stilts to allow all around airflow.
I know it is private information but it would be nice to have some numbers, so that the viewers have realistic portrayal and comparison to other types of structures.
I like your mention of the "engineered lumber" too instead of old growth logging the truth is ancient trees are not or soon will not be an option at all there are so few left so best to figure out an alternative now.
I’m sure the PSLs were made from “small” trees and not the remnants of the “old growth” trees that have been milled down into smaller lumber leaving smaller pieces that have been used to create small dimensional lumber and plywood type lumber strands, which are then formed together with glue and heavy amounts of pressure to form larger strands of lumber. The milling companies definitely went out to cut down trees no larger than 4” in diameter.
It is very beautiful, functional, lots of sustainable concepts. Love the garden, chicken coop, and the central window area. What about fires? Is this a fire-proof structure? What do you do to protect from forest fires?
8 ton concrete foot path may take a few decades to pay back carbon wise but it’s a good start and although we focus on the positives they a way off being holier than thou!
The exact number to make a Passive House is a maximum energy use of 15 kWh per square metre per year IIRC. Building cost studies so far show an increase in building cost of about ten to fifteen percent over conventional, which is paid back in your energy savings. Time to payoff is determined by how much your energy use costs. PH projects often save 90% vs conventional energy demands in a home.
It is nice, but I would like it more with greenhouse like earthship have. Cool air from back has more solution that to burry long pipe underground. Otherwise I really like, I am big fan of greenroofs and earthen plaster.
I'm in love with this home. I would so love to have something similar to this. How can one do this? I do live in alberta Canada. Our family wants to have a sustainable and off grid home. It's our dream ✨️

Can someone get an exact similar house plan?
@Exploring Alternatives Firewood depicted or included as "sustainable" is a sick joke.
It's clear to see that a lot of thought and effort went into building this home. I hope they enjoy every minute living in it. ❤️
They've done a great job. I hope they have a lot of good friends to share it with.
Enormous and beautiful, yet sustainable. Love it! What a happy wonderful life❤
That is so beautiful, because and in spite of it being a "working" home.
It really is charming.
These kind of homes are becoming my favourite, I think.
It doesn't get much better than this! 🌞👍🌿
Finally a video that talks on toliet stuff and water
It is a gorgeous design, very eye catching in a great way!
Love the roof top garden
Kitchen is everything
For now, the best video about a self-sustaining ecological house.
That wood, that kitchen so beautiful. This man is so handy. Beautiful family
Its great to see this guy, his wife and his wife's son living in such a great house!
🤣
I guess I'm terminally online, because that made me laugh.

@@Mori-vl64k Not to mention the straw compressing over time no matter what. Innumerable construction nightmares.
Beautifully made. Would love to have a property like this.
What an impressive home! It's unconventional, serves all their needs and is lovely.
Hard consistent work pays off....
C'est une très belle famille et leur concept de maison est vraiment intéressant, il y a beaucoup d'idées à exploiter.
Merci pour le partage.

Next thing to learn seems to bee no-dig gardening, mulching the garden to keep the moisture for the plants. And maybe permaculture..
Such a pretty place😍

Beautiful home! I was curious about the bedroom pods and wished more time was spent exploring the layout/design of the floor plan.
This definitely is an interesting house
I'll definitely be looking more into building one of these 👍💡.
Great home design and materials.
⭐⭐⭐⭐🙂
If it is truly sustainable the everyone can have one
nice building ❤❤
Beautiful home 🏡 💕
So amazing n inspiring
I love the house

This is incredible! Can anyone explain how the strawbales in the wall don't decompose over time and impact the scructure/insulation of the house?
very impressive!
Good thermal management by using hot water for house heating and for daily use.
Nice people. ❤
Wonderful
хороший дом как по мне. интересная крыша
Very nice!
I know it is private information but it would be nice to have some numbers, so that the viewers have realistic portrayal and comparison to other types of structures.
Smart people 👌
I really want a natural build like this but its so expensive!
It's quite a work-in-progress.
I don't want to know the price . But what a beautiful place !!
He should've saved some of that straw for mulch. Cover that garden.

I guess big flat stones (and the crane to lift them) were way over their budget. Lol
Woahh

My dream just add solar and perfect
sleep therapy tone, i am sleepin'😅
Nice 👍
It is nice, but I would like it more with greenhouse like earthship have. Cool air from back has more solution that to burry long pipe underground. Otherwise I really like, I am big fan of greenroofs and earthen plaster.
Some of the elements remind me of Taliesin West

Mice must love it there.
