It is mostly talking, talking, talking, and some nice photos, but not a lot of straight information. There might be some useful information here if I could sit through it long enough.

Its good to see really thought about design. Its all to often that people are only conserned about the cost of building rather than the health or environmental benifits. These homes can cost more, but they are also worth more, with the benifits of health, efficincy and being environmental responsible. Need to see more docos of the likes Great stuff.

There are quite a few communities in the UK living in low impact dwellings. Do a google search for low impact community. That might come up with something. If not I can give you more information. I like the 'earthship' design personally. I'd suggest a search on that too. I intend to build one for myself this year but without paying 1000's of dollars to the guy who came up with the idea. All you really need is a load of old tyres and some windows, all of which can be found for free. People are living in them in sub zero temperatures with no heating. Very simple but effective. Hakima.

Maybe not so economic afterall, but, they have done quiet a villa...Anyway, there are many things I´ve learned, and I just can´t wait for the spring to come to put them in practic. Why not living in a cleaner environment, if you can?I´m not very pleased with the idea of mice and insects hiding into those walls and I have doubts about the durability of the mud plasture. Also I don´t know how such a construction will face a colder climate, or a temperate-continental one, with significent variations of temperature and humidity. Anyway, compared with wood structure box walls houses, it´s a step forward, especially thinking about the advantages of these materials and not in the second place about protecting the environment.
