Earthship: How to Build Your Own, Vol. 1 : https://amzn.to/39BAPNJ

In this video we are presenting the different design approaches and layouts that Mike Raynolds discussed in his book "EarthShip Volume1".


All earthships are basically 1 module, with 3 thermal mass walls, a glass facade, a greenhouse and a skylight at the back. The whole Module structure is submerged in earth for its important insulation properties.


The Module can then be rearranged with certain rules to create large homes even big compounds. The U's as Raynolds called them , can be put next to each others and generate the single row layout. They can be staggered behind one another or even placed one on top of the other if the land is sloped.


Of course the Modules can even be stacked on top of each others but that will require and Architect and a structural engineer consultancy and should be avoided since the purpose of the earthsip is to have a low cost and high positive impact on its local eco-system
