The Earthships Have Landed In Beautiful BC
The Earthship is the embodiment of sustainable style, design and construction. These highly sustainable buildings can also be constructed in any part of our planet, and still provide electricity, potable water, contained waste product treatment and sustainable food production. This may well become the model 'home' over the next fifteen to thirty years' time.
THE PRINCIPLES OF AFFORDABLE, 'GREEN' DESIGN:
Building with Recycled & Natural Materials
* Solar/Thermal Heating and Cooling
* Solar/Thermal Heating and Cooling
* Contained Sewage Treatment
* Contained Sewage Treatment
* Interior & Exterior Food Production
THE EARTHSHIP MODEL
The creation of Earthships are the innovation of New Mexico's architect Michael Reynolds, also the originator of Earthship Biotecture, who characterizes these homes as "radically sustainable" within the home building industry. This completely green, low-tech style of building originated in New Mexico, making use of soil-packed tires for building blocks, with various forms of refuse and natural materials.
The Earthship technique incorporates roughly 45% recycled materials; together with plastic and glass bottles, cans, wood, natural plaster and stone, and metal from washing machines and refrigerators, and depends for the most part on the sun for warmth.
EARTHSHIPS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
In British Columbia, there are more or less fourteen Earthships, with new ones turning out systematically. These are situated in Brittany Lake in the Chilcotin, Darfield, Nanaimo, Lone Butte, Lasqueti Island (2), Silver Star access road close to Vernon, Creston (2), Barnhartvale, and Old Joseph Campbell Creek Road close to Kamloops (2). In addition, there are presently two Comox Valley projects under review with the Comox Valley Regional District, for brand new builds in each Fanny Bay and Merville.
This type of construction is finding its way into our universal conscientiousness not just for our homes, but also for our community centres, Eco Villages, commercial uses, and many more special use properties.
