I dream to one day live in a community like this, where people share skills and resources. To me, this is how humans used to live, if you go back far enough in time.

Don't believe me, inflate a tire, put it inside for a few months then let the air out. I guarantee you the air coming out of that tire will have a tire smell to it. Is it a health hazard? With the proper ventilation rate, probably not. What's the proper ventilation rate? Who the heck knows, we are just now beginning to get an understanding of indoor chemistry and we don't have a great understanding of what proper ventilation rates really are for "normal" houses, much less for houses built with non-standard materials.

I got the impression they just don't ask too much from the people that are in the community. You pitch in to maintain shared areas instead of paying some contractor to do it for you. However, you live your own private life much as you would anywhere else.

Fantastic community design! Congratulations!!

What you have created is beautiful and I am sure many of us are envious. Side note: watch out of the buddleja davidii (which i have seen zoomed in on a few time) because it is exotic and extremely invasive and it must be contained.

I wish I could live with them, its so rare to find them.

Really love solarpunk, knowing of how many alternatives there are for capitalist and hirarchical ways of living really gives me hope, stay strong you all ♡♡♡

5:13 i wonder how much of this shuffling is done voluntarily and how much is mandated. Certainly there is value in many people understanding many aspects of how the community functions, but there is also value in people doing what they're good at and really enjoy doing. Hopefully the system balances that out!

Didn't you listen? It's for everyone to learn the necessary skills to maintain the whole community, for example everyone learns how to cook or clean or maintain the clean drinking water system, or build a house, or install electricity, instead of just having one expert and 50 people not knowing anything, so that if anyone leaves or someone dies, it's not a loss, everyone else in the whole community can take over and keep doing the necessary maintenance, daily functioning, repair or install anything needed

Id really like to hear more details about this project. Who started it? Who can join? How is conflict resolved? How are finances figured? How is food and waste delt with? How was land surveyed and allocated? How far from the city are you? I have so many questions

Fear is anxiety of future. Only way to escape it is to become stronger😊 and leaning to let go. The place without fear is inside you.

I only ever see things like this done on a small scale, like village, town or small community level. Never on a large scale like a city or a state or region. Does that mean that things like these are much more realistic and achievable because they're done on a small scale and therefore accountability and transparency are more viable?

i would say this is great, but i would also say that those houses are too close together, part of the beauty of self reliance is the solitude. i think we're not as social as we want to be...? we need space, this looks like a suburb... the best suburb ever, yes... but still...

Wow, my dream made real ❤

Please make some connections with UK gov who are about to change the planning regulations to build a LOT more houses- your expertise would be well received in many quarters- if not we will simply be giving vile-home builders a tonne of support and cash.

Not my thing, but i appreciated knowledge sharing as apart of building a community resilience - a good idea. Also interesting comment on community outgrowing its connections with over 25 families or so. Sounds like we have not evolved beyond tribalism after all.

The principles I like and thumbs up for the hard work! I just wanted to give my critical opinion because there are too less opinions in this world 🤪. I’m a real design lover and also love esthetic architecture. Well let me just be critic on the interior. I just wished there were communities with people that love iconic design furniture. The reason why is because real design is somehow durable. I saw a Poang chair in the house of ikea and some leather sofa’s that were trendy in the year 2000 but you will have to replace those in 15 years time. As well as the fabricated things that are just not cohesive in my view wich is sad because it seems like durable vision was the base point. Long story short , it’s not because its ecologic that it shouldn’t look good. But then again I’m just easy typing here so “petje af” for the effort and vision. For the not dutch people: petje af is like the same as “I take my had off for you guys”.

I think most earthships separate gray water (kichen, shower, laundry) and black water (toilet). In the grey water system biologically degradable soaps and detergents are used, the water is usually filtered through sand and gravel before being used to water crops. Black water may be directed to a septic tank where organic mater is decomposed by microorganisms, see it as similar to a compost heap just with additional liquid. The resulting water is usually treated in a similar way as the grey water but is not used to water food crops or at least not crops that grow close to the ground.

I do appreciate the creativity and inventiveness, but these sort of communities always give me the cult creeps. Or at the very least strong “let me cleanse your aura” shivers.

I believe it would be wise to start living a way of life using the least possible electricity.

Even if everything isn t perfect, it s should be the norm

Very cool:)

See that's the problem with anything eco friendly; they all want to force you to be part of their "community". It's not enough that you are doing your part to save the earth, they can't just leave people ALONE.

He wasn't clear on everything and unless I missed it, I didn't hear him state an overall purpose, so I'm left to make assumptions.

Random question about car tire wall: Is it possible to split tires in half (meaning if you lay a tire flat on the floor, split it horizontally so you get two open doughnuts) and then stack them, rubber side down? Would that Save a lot of time stuffing the tires? But then the reduced friction between the rubber and dirt in the open doughnuts might reduce shear strength? Compared to rubber against rubber. What about adding a stabilizer like 7% lime or 5% cement into the fill ? So many questions. No chance to experiment. Asking for potential future reference.

I've seen a couple of Earthship builds that used tire bales, very large tire bales, as the back wall. They felt like the performance is similar to the rammed earth tires but does require heavy equipment to unload, position, and stack. The tire wall of the original Earthships rely on the rammed earth for thermal mass and the tires seem like they are mostly just easily moved containers and building blocks.

@ScheveSneeuwSchuifSchep

I would guess breaking up the circular shape of the tires reduces the integrity of the whole structure as circles have no weak point. Cutting the tires open would make them wobbly and make the rammed earth susceptible to decompression I think.

Probably not, I see too little farmland or planted crops around the area and the guy explained that there are people from all different kinds of professions. They probably do get a fair share of produce relative to their plot of land and most of the inhabitants will likely buy locally grown organic produce for the things that they don't grow themselves

i think that we are born knowing how to build our own homes but our society likes to put obstacles in the way in order to keep certain techniques secret.

"nourished by diversity and beauty, do you believe it can exist?" No. No i don't. Diversity will always lead to division and therefore the tearing apart of community... This can only work if it's homogeneous. Otherwise, all this sounds extremely worthwhile to attempt.

You mean vertically? I think you could quite literally increase the size of the whole thing but the main problem is the surface area taken up by the earth wall which functions as a thermal battery. I reckon it would be possible to dig a large pit for a chemical thermal battery based on non-toxic salts and hook it up to a well-insulated multi-story building with a good air ventilation system and heat exchanger but it may be cheaper and easier to just leave out the thermal battery and use the heat/cold storing capacity of the earth itself.

TRULY a blessing and very beautiful Unity project! Congratulations!...BUT PLEASE REALIZE that those so called electric cars are far away from being a good idea - due to the many environmentally damaging aspects of the electric batteries in the engines...not to mention the regular criminal child slave labor that is almost always used to extract the ores needed for the electric batteries from the ground... Another very big disadvantage is that the electric cars often have a tendency to burst into flames at random... But otherwise I think your community is very worthwhile, guided by the most noble ideas and a very successful chance for our humanity now as also for future generations ! Blessings, even more inspirations and Light success to you and thank you for sharing ! 💛🧡❤🧡💛👏👏👏💯...
