Earth bermed house with walls made out of earthen rammed tires. Adobe interior with stucoo exterior. 70' of south facing glass, angled perpendicular to the sun on the winter solstice letting sun fill the home in the winter and not in the summer. The 3' walls and slab/tile floor hold solar heat into the night and the only heat source, a Lopi wood stove, takes the day's temp through the evening. Skylights and vent windows keep air circulating, as does the evaporative cooler that was added.
Where was this used? Classic Earthship design, rammed earth tires.
