Earthbag Second Floor

This garage apartment is practical and affordable.

Earthbag second floor.

We would want the kitchen to be in the center maybe with a staircase to help support the second floor. It s ideal for use as a rental unit or grandparent s apartment. The native spirit house plan blends a hexagonal dwelling with a soaring tower all built of earthbags. I was wondering if it was possible to build a round earthbag home but putting a second floor in to make four bedrooms.

This 30 second video demonstrates the use of a bucket chute funnel for filling the earthbags. Simply insert the bottomless bucket in the earthbag grabbing the top of the bag and the top of the bucket simultaneously. 30 x 34 description. Interior apartment 715 sq.

It is usually smaller and easier to build from my research but don t think that an earthbag house can t be less expensive to build earth friendly and gorgeous on the inside. The first floor of the tower serves as a cool pantry that keeps food cool without electricity. When you talk about building an earthbag house many people automatically go toward the cob house design. Other levels can be used as office space a second bedroom or storage.

Working with another person makes the process much easier and there really is not a need for a stand unless you have to work alone.
