Earthship Design

This house is called an Earthship house. It is made from fully recycled materials - mostly tyres filled with earth, which then provides the heating and insulation. There's recycled wood, glass bottles as features and recycled insulation made from car windscreens and plastic bottles. It was made by hand with volunteers. There is a weed garden to clean the water from the toilet, a composting toilet, vege gardens, solar electricity and rain water tanks. 

M-House

The M-House is a modular house that can be changed. Seven interlocked cubes are made of rectangular panels attached to a hinged frame. This house can be built for just about any environment and climate. It's also designed to be energy self sufficient and can be taken apart and moved.
