What would be your dream house?

Earthship, definitely.

 

We're in the mountains, not over the hill.

 

A cob house in the middle of the woods.

 

Honestly, I would love to live incredibly close to nature - on a farm, growing my own food or living in a commune/something like that.

I'm a lot concerned with how my children would grow up in a level of living like that (no education? what about college?), and that I would disappoint my parents by not having a prestigious career and living near them.

 

Ever since I was a wee one, I've wanted to live a nomadic lifestyle live in a tipi made of garbage (old tarps, narrow PVC piping, duct tape... I think a lot of improvised materials could be gotten very cheaply and wouldn't be too heavy to transport). Still dreaming. Maybe I'll do it someday. I'd like to do at least for a little while. It'd add an interesting chapter to my life.

 

My dream is just an old log cabin in a valley with a creek and some trees. My friend sent me this link the other day and it is intriguing as well though.

I had never seen these before but it is a really cool idea.

 

Tree home.

 

earthship

 

just a regular small house

i see no point in owning a huge ass house

 

This looks SO lovely

 

Earthship, even though that tree house looks awesome. :]

:]

 

I had in a earlier post where I said a tipi but have kinda changed my mind. Today I made a delivery to a greenhouse and it was awesome, natural light and a open area. It was a tad bit chilly but not near as cold as the outside was and with a wood stove it would be perfect.

yeah ive seen that house before, i love it
totaly along the lines of what i want to build.

 

that and earth ramed , anything that was well stable , and kept me warm and was off the grid

 

i was just about to suggest these houses, only i was going to have to go for a look around the net to find out the name. This is exactly the kind of house that i would want, type wise. The earth is a great insulator, and these houses blend so well with their surroundings, so long as they are not in the middle of an city like new york, etc.
I like it :cheers2:

Circle eace:

 

and me too, i love this house and the way of doing it seems quite sustainable

 

i built a 30 foot yurt in the back yard. alot of the neigbhors went apeshit over that! so many people think a house has to be a box.
when i lived in seattle, i lived in a 1977 school bus, i bought for $4,500.00. sold it three years ago for almost $19,000.00 (made one hell of alot of improvements to it.)

 

I like the first one, but decorate with beads and posters, and lots of flowers.
