I live in Alaska as well, Fairbanks. I plan on building along the same lines, but with a central indoor atrium for our year round gardening for self sustainment.

When I was much younger, I dreamed of building home with rammed earth, straw bails, or rock walls. At one time I wanted to build a large basement home with a court open to the sky surrounded by the rooms. Every room would have a window to the court. But it never happened. Now I am old and quite happy with my traditional home.

The builder now offers classes in his native land – though.. might be a trek from Alaska!

This type of hand built earth-sheltered house is not legal in my area. How does one go about getting the building code changed to allow these types of home and/or earthships?

Thanks

This is absolutely the cutest home I’ve ever seen! What wonders one can do with good old manual labor. One thing I question is…how you included “just a couple of solar panels” for $5,000????
