        • What is an Earthship?

          An Earthship is a type of house built with natural and recycled materials, with energy conservation in mind. It is designed to produce energy, water and food for its own use.

        • An Earthship is a type of passive solar house that is made of both natural and upcycled materials. Several models exist, and can be built in any part of the world, in any climate and provide electricity, potable water, contained sewage treatment and sustainable food production. Choose your favorite model.

           

          View Earthships currently for sale or buy some land in the Earthship Community

          Building cost could be significantly reduced if you decide to host an Academy or a Field Study.

Journey: 1975 The Hobbit House

Cañon went on to become a compound that I lived in with three different wives and families at three different times of my life.  Many things were learned there.  The first tire house was built there.  We call it the Hobbit House.  At right is how it looks today.   It was built with the […]

Journey: 1971 – A Vision of Four Wizards

I kept adding on to the building with recycled materials and kept gazing at the full moon from the coffer.  The full moon came across the southern sky and almost burned a hole straight through my brain. Guess it was no wonder I had a vision…        a vision of four wizards. The […]

Journey: 1969

Then there was my thesis – hated by half the graduating class and the faculty because it allowed owner/residents to build their own homes within a superstructure of concrete.  It allowed regular people to tread on that  “sacred ground”  owned by the architect. The other half of the class and the faculty loved it and […]

They predicted a garbage problem in […]

Journey: 1966 – 68

Architectural school at the University of Cincinnati was the beginning of a roller coaster ride that is still going on today.  I paid my way through school partially by painting.  I had a gallery of my own in Louisville, Kentucky and was selling paintings off the easel before they were even finished.  My wife Susan […]
