Unique Sustainable Home Built with Nearly 100% Natural Materials - Green Building Tour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 ноя 2020
- The Eagleyew house is a beautifully sculpted custom green home built with nearly 100% natural materials! The light clay walls are made with a mixture of clay and straw, and the timber frame structure is built using wood from the property. There is a wraparound living roof, and the interior has earthen cob floors and natural plasters.
This house has three heat sources, including a passive solar design, a masonry stove, and an annualized geo solar system. There are also three solar hot water panels on the roof, a well for fresh water, a septic system for waste, and the house is connected to the grid for electricity.
In this video, Ezio, the owner, gives us a full tour, and he’s also going to share some of the challenges he’s encountered while building and living in this alternative energy-efficient home.

This house is what happens when you combine a talented artist, spiritualist, and an environmentalist.
@@drixacker a lot of $$$ for something that will last 300yrs is a wise decision.
@@riaelaine9268 I agree with you. But I would add that the space is a bit unnecessarily large for only one individual living there.
@@1MSubsNovideos I will be the first one to agree with you. At the same time, it has room for my returning children (and future grandchildren) and it has all that I need (and more)...
Basically the antithesis of a politician...
@@asafnisan Thanks!
I love how honest he is. His home and attitude is such an inspiration.
You are an honest person too.
How humans are meant to live with nature not fighting it. Gorgeous.
😊👍
This is a home that I can imagine myself aspiring to create one day.
Same ❣️
But likely won’t
If everyone lived this way we would be in a much better place globally
"house"... this is a freakin' MANSION. Well done.
I don't know what box you live in but that's a normal sized house.
This house is, as he said, “a masterpiece”. He is an artist who brought his dream to life. I loved the view where you can’t tell which steps are going up and which are going down! I paused the video there, and sure enough! I couldn’t tell! That bowled me over, thinking that he had planned that long before the building stage!
The house is magical. It's like music. It combines art, science and spiritual.
well said...exactly that!
Thanks so much...
Anybody else getting an immensely strong fey-vibe from this amazing person? Just... a somewhat non-mortal forest being, extremely well-versed and careful in picking their words, adept at many crafting / building things and learned about a lot.
He already said he's gonna replace the roof in 30/40 years so hes gonna be here for a while
My God, this is indeed a true masterpiece of beauty, talent, craftsmanship, ingenuity, especially heart & soul. Ezio understands the relationship between nature, energy, creation & mysticism. I'd love to visit this magical marvel.
Come visit...
Fascinating!! This guy is living my dream. I hope to craft my own home like this some day. This was a beautifully produced episode! Great editing!
My kind of house, filled with books.
I remember a line from the movie Bravehaeart "Every men dies, not every man really lives" I am happy to see this man is one of the latest. Awesome work.
This house is very impressive. The owner being a carpenter, he added much of his craftmanship to the woodwork, countertops and furniture pieces. The owner is a Renaissance man as he is very knowledgeable about many different things and appreciates the environment. too.
Wow. Inspirational. I am 55 and hesitating to move into the boonies and build my own tiny home. Because why? Because I keep thinking I will die soon. And here is this guy older than me and talking about how he would need to change his roof in 30 or 40 years time.
If you act like your life is already over... it is. Continue to live your dreams until you no longer can. Then make new dreams. Good luck!
Absolutely incredible, so artistic and smart! This man is a wonderful artist with multiple talents. You are so lucky to have a chance to meet him. A video that I will never forget! Thanks so much.
Thanks so much Jocelyne for the wonderful comment :)
I would say this is the perfect home for this person’s character. I’m sure he’s very proud of himself. Carry on.
Beautiful. His honesty was great about what’s gone wrong/what he loves. The design is great. His own wood working is very impressive. His whole sphere theme he has reminds me of Edward Gorey’s love of rocks throughout his house.
I was expecting smoke to come from the dragon's nose. what a beautiful home
I was also expecting smoke to come spewing out of the dragon’s nose and all the while wondering why he would want smoke in his house. I was very confused and conflicted as I waited to find out. Lol
Me too 🐲
I did try to do a bypass. Not a good idea to have smoke in the house (the fire alarma goes crazy!)
This is one of the most beautiful, wholesome earth builds/conscious homes that I have seen.
What an impressive Human!
Ezio is a man after my own heart: natural building, wood, crop circles, making stone cairns, making of tinctures and essential oils, Findhorn, meditation, healing and books...I could hardly believe it...
I had a look at the retreat/sanctuary; Eaglenest which is wonderful and in located in a magical forest
This is wonderful, his house, his story, and him. Wonderful, thoughtful and beautiful. So much hidden detail. I live in Ontario and this type of house is also what I hope to achieve in the next decade. Thank you
Amazing concept...we Indians are very much used to mud and cob houses since time immemorial...but making it nature efficient is a great step towards worshipping and conserving mother nature...leaving less footsteps n more wisdom for our future generation...
Love the heating idea
This man is so genius i want to be his daughter so he can teach me everything he knows. His so talented as we can see he have a lot of books he makes his own perfume too.
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts. Come visit one of these days...
I could not be more in love with his home and land. This is so idyllic and inspiring
My deepest compliments to the Owner/ Architect of this GORGEOUS COB HOUSE... Sir, you have been the most helpful as to explaining the entire process of this Beautiful Home.. TY
As an artist and a designer, his story is very inspiring on so many levels! Great episode! Thank you.
As an architect I love everything he has done. Also he is honest about what worked what didn’t. I would have preferred more open plan.
Thanks! What do you mean by open plan?
This guy apparently is multidimensional; with all he does he experiences 29 hour days! For real he is living my life. Definitely goals. Mine will be more cyberpunk themed with some of that spiritual stuff embedded into it too along with some glittery magical things sprinkled in too :)
Love this! It's like a more refined but still earth friendly earth ship home! Love that water heating system, too!
You are right. Earthships are an important part of my inspiration...
love the concept for his 'truth window'
Not sure what to say to this. Every platitude would fall short, which is what any comment would be from me, at this time. I'm just glad I subscribe to this channel - but what a beautiful home! So well considered, and executed, and probably irreplaceable. I'm glad it will be around a long, long, time.
I love a guy who can admit to mistakes. This guy is special, for sure!
Oh my gosh, what a masterpiece!!! Everything so well thought out... Such beautiful, artistic design and use of materials. I'm gobsmacked!
Really love the definitions you threw in there! Super helpful 👌. Thanks for showing us this amazing home
Thanks Alexa, happy you liked it!!
I love this house, it has a positive spirit.
Besides of all the good technical ideas to make this house eco-friendly, this is simply the most beautiful house I have ever seen.
This is amazing. That AGS system blew my mind. I have no idea how the heat just chills out underground for 5 months and decides to come up in the winter. Good job summer heat I’m proud of you for coming up when it’s cold out of the ground like a beautiful zombie or warm justice.
AGS works in much the same way as Passive Annual Heat Storage. Because earthen mass is a slow 'semi' conductor of thermal energy, we can evoke a desired lag effect. The trick here in the we{s}t coast is to insulate the ground under the house and isolate it from ground water table that rises during our winter mega-rain storms.
beautiful
This is honestly my perfect home,I really love it
Who could possibly dislike this video?
this is like my dream. truly amazing.
Great episode. Appreciated the pros _and_ cons presented. What a unique person as well
Great find. So nice of the gentleman to share his home with the world. I wonder what music sounds like in there as it's one large timber speaker box.
He seems so humble, and his honesty was simply refreshing. I appreciate that very much.
Thanks for sharing. For me personally one of the best videos you ever published.
WOW!!!! What an incredible construction! I love the green roof and con walls 👍👍👍
Wow! Amazing!
I love how his house is an extension of him and his passions.
AMAZING House 🤗
Definitely couldn't build that in Florida, but glad it works for him
Omg the dragon !!! Amazing!
I'm in love 😍
This is how i want to live, my dream library soo good!
My favourite part of the house (together with my lab)...
This may sound strange but this house is a mess. I say that in a good way! alot of these home tours have houses that look staged or straight off the manufacture floor. This house looks lived in and I appreciate he didn't attempt to remove the lived in look. this gives a better idea of how the house really functions. where they spend the most time. where items tend to collect. as a person who plans on building their own home in the near future these are the kind of videos i enjoy watching! lovely home and lovely video. kudos!
yes exactly. this real, raw insight is much more useful then cookie cutter tours.
And it’s not even a mess oof but yes yes I love a well loved and lived home
Ezio! Auditore! Defirence!
It's beautiful, functional and amazing. Thanks for sharing this kind of projects
I love his dragon on the fire system, very creative and beautiful. I love his inspirational spirit on living off the land . He’ll make a good teacher for anyone considering this as a future.
The man is five different persons rolled into one multi talented
Touches like the library are fantastic examples of not needing to confrom to traditional house plans
This place is incredible ?? Dreamy !
Neat house. Has a propane stove. Big one. Those 3 solar panels can't heat the water during low sun days.
Probably true. It has emergency electric water heater inside the balloon...
This house is totally awesome. Thanks Danielle ❤
a very active mind behind all this attention to detail
Wow so impressive! Congratulations! So many people don't even know the value of South, East and West! The house I share was mass produced and the trim is cardboard/press-wood; it retains water and mold. So many houses I've seen being built are falling apart as they build them. Home buyers really need to educate themselves, and foreign ownership of multiple properties in Canada needs to stop.
It rained a lot yesterday in Seoul, Korea. The cold winter began with the cold wind blowing.
I hope health is always with you. Thank you. ^O^
I watch a thousand RUclips videos - you create this masterpiece
I consider this man a BRILLIANT GENIUS. Thank you for showing around. So many wonderful ideas. 💕💗🌏🌿🙏🏻🌍🌈👍❤️🌸
The most beautiful and thoughtful house i have ever come across. Just love it!!! 😍
Wow 😃 just wow! Looking at all this gentleman has created and still creating is just amazing. I hope his children appreciate this and carry on in his footsteps. It’s really a fantastic accomplishment!
Beautiful and brilliantly designed home.
I just love the sun room! Excellent work all together!
Incredible.
So magical! What an absolutely beautiful home...I hope one day to have a home like this
this is so neat!
What a beautiful home, a pleasure to the eye, environmentally friendly and inspirational owner. Thanks for showing us.
Glad to see that a cochlear implant (right side) makes life easier for you. The property is fabulous. Thanks for sharing the majesty of your world.
Thank you for sharing your mistakes and things you learned from rather than lying or not sharing. I appreciate it. Good man.
I love these videos. It’s really cool to hear older people speak about their homes and experiences. I want to homestead and live sustainably like this.
I have seen many ecological builds and houses but I am so mesmerised by this one and by this man's lifestyle. It is absolutely beautiful, doesn't miss anything and it has such a calming atmosphere.
Beautiful home
Love it! Lots of great ideas. I will have to watch several times to see everything. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for posting and sharing! Very wonderful home.
One of the best and most interesting and unique homes I’ve ever seen especially online. I love this home. Thank you so much for your content and thank you to the creator of this wonderful home. You’re awesome.
I like this man's Spiritual HOuse!!!
So much of a Living Environment.....
I am a Lover of Cold, Concrete, Steel, things that are 'Untouching', however this is very Nice.....
This video was one of the best I have watched. What a fascinating man who has created such a unique home. I only wish the tour & video lasted longer. I would enjoy seeing more of this home and hearing more about it.
By far my favorite video!!!! I love how you don't expect people to know exactly what you are talking about. Instead, you give them the information/definitions so that they are not lost the entire video.
I think this man is my soulmate
Looking, looking...
Gorgeous! Incredible woodwork
Wow! Such a beautiful and creative home working with nature.
A thank you to this man for sharing his home w us
Bravo! I Love this house. Amazing work.
I love this house! Absolutely gorgeous!
I am absolutely enchanted!
What a magical place!! That dragon is amazing!!
House of peace... beautiful work
What a cool house! Ezio seems a really interesting guy too. Love the house, the style and thought that's gone into it. The alpacas are so cute too
Truly incredible. I love his home.
Love the explanation of everything. Such a nice house, probably the most interesting I've seen
Beautiful,beautiful home.
