Some clients have difficulties getting traditional bank mortgages on Earth covered projects, because their appraised value is difficult to establish since only a few exist. So, we have also developed ways to build more conventional custom homes which are often easier to finance, yet still very energy efficient. These can be made of concrete, steel, wood, block, etc. View the gallery of choices below.
These can be super insulated and fire and disaster resistant. They have the same advantages of underground and earth-sheltered buildings. Plus, with advance planning you can add green roofs later. Go to Earth Sheltered for more underground applications.
Below are a few style and planning drawing examples.
ANY STYLE from Country to Modern and Rustic are available. Build the custom protection and style you want.

Low-impact projects we consider more SUSTAINABLE HOUSING because it is more cost effective, lasts longer, and is built from resources that are often readily available. We are apart of a sustainability think tank that demonstrates, plans and builds different sustainable living examples and prototypes for self-sufficient projects around the world. Each village model represents different eco-build methodologies designed as affordable and eco-friendly living with the additional option to be combined with sustainable food and energy systems. Contact us for more information on these sustainable projects and go to our blogs to learn more on SUSTAINABILITY, EMERGENCY PREPARATION, PERMACULTURE, BIODIVERSITY, ETC.
