- The Aadehuizen Project is a housing development of 23 houses and a Community Building, the first ecovillage project in the Netherlands.
The original idea was for them all to be Earthships (buildings with walls made from tyres packed with rammed earth), but after 12 were built, they switched to straw bale walls, given the labour-intensive nature of Earthship construction.
Most of the materials used in the construction were sourced from within 50 kilometres, including reclaimed materials such as tyres and scrap wood, as well as straw, cob and earth plasters.

Great project! Excellent example of what's possible when a group of sensible people empower themselves to create a living environment that actually meets the combined needs of humans and nature. There should be millions of these communities all over Europe.
how beautiful and amazing
this deserves a full documentary with an hour long at least
I agree with you. Good to see other people interested in those projects!
I enjoyed the video, however there were several times where the music overpowered the speakers voice making it very hard to understand, even with subtitles.
I could understand what he was saying but because I have a medical condition which makes sensory processing challenging I found the addition of music so disturbing I couldn’t follow this to the end.
Music in TV shows, the news, TH-cam, etc. is quite annoying! I miss so much of what is said.
That's why I love the comment section of other people. I learn from other people and implement what I learn on my channel. Thank u folks 😊
It’s simple turn on closed captions and turn the volume off it will. Help
I think they fixed it!
We need more of these all over the world.
Would you join this type of community/lifestyle?
@@discoverFigureitout for sure
@@discoverFigureitoutpersonally? Totally.
@@discoverFigureitout Have you seen Squatting and homeless community?
I like how the typo is how a dutch person pronounces earthship 😂
Thank you very much for promoting such a beautiful and necessary culture .
Beautiful! It's so important to know how to build our own homes. Well done!
Wow, I LOVE this!!! I wish this was possible to do everywhere, but it doesn't surprise me that this project is in Holland, the friendliest country I've ever personally visited, having visited about 1/10 of all the countries of Earth.
Beautiful, we just need more trees♥️🌺🌴🙏🏼
The sick dig at the netherlands warms my soul
This is fantastic. I love how so many of the important details to optimal human function are so well thought out and implemented. Brilliant work. Thank you for your empowering example.
Eco is the future for the world!
Awesome video. Thank u very much for sharing. Very Nice and enjoyable narration, and very happy to perceive the great philosophy behind the project and watch that in action !!!
It seems like a wonderful community! Well done all of you!
it's so calming , i can imagine me being there
I've planning something similar lately even if it goes even further. It's called Humania Town for anyone curious.
Where?
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.
Modern society has taken away a lot of these human natures, here in the UK, we keep ourselves to ourselves in our own houses, and don't tend to cooperate with our neighbours, its sad to me, and I wish I could live like these in this ecovillage one day
I don't know if there are many like this, but the U.S. has many communes that are always welcoming new people. It is a bit of a swim though
The uk seems to be especially like this, people living in neighbourhoods never knowing their neighbours or even looking up to say hi
3:16 in a few sentences he exposes a lot of the flaws in earthship homes. I was fairly obsessed with them for a year couple years, then i realized there are better ideas the function just as well or better with a lot less work & time (=money).
I was as well, but now all I think about (aside from the intense labor) is the off gassing of the tires.
I brought this up in the comments of a video on an earthship home a while back and unintentionally offended the person.
But they didn't offer any counter information.
Other than that, I really do like the idea.
@@tracy419the tires produce gasses only when exposed to weather. In the dirt (and some cement between the living space) they do not produce gas. That's why they are a cool building item, because at the same time you take them from the tire piles where they produce the gas.
@@tracy419 There is no hard and fast rule that you absolutely must use tires for your Earthship wall. As mentioned in the video it was taking too long and going overbudget so they used an alternative that is functionally the same.
@@TheRealHonestInquiry Why not just use compressed earth blocks instead? Material is available everywhere, has no cost and the machinery is DIYable. Anyway, I'm curious to know what alternatives you used.
@@mariaoiklou973 Ummm... No. They may produce very little gas when out of the heat and sunlight, but they are still off gassing. 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.
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.
Hempcrete would be a good alternative to Straw? Any ideas to use it in the future??
Fantastic community design! Congratulations!!
Beautiful Project. Very inspiring to many others. I'm very interested in how they ensure the cohesiveness and stability of the group socially. It is so commonly the undoing of other intentional communities.
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.
Ik weet nog dat ik rond 2010-2012 zoiets jullie al volgde over de aardhuis-community. Ik er toen graag bij gekomen.
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
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 !
💛🧡❤🧡💛👏👏👏💯...
the Ukranian flag made me cry, thank you so much incredible people for supporting us.
I hope it is a place free of fear, I have something like that.
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.
Wow, my dream made real ❤
Inspirational.❤
❤❤❤❤ love it
Wonderful houses! I can only hope I’ll be able to live in something similar as I get older.
For the domes I have to wonder if covering them with coconut fiber mat would allow for better growth?
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.
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
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.
Kirsten Dirksen must be invited to showcase !? ☝️❤️✌️🌍🙏
Very cool:)
Love anything self-sufficient and government free. Fcuk the control and overreach.
typo in video title btw!
Eartships instead of Earthships
Het lijkt me ook leuk een huis te bouwen zoals arme landarbeiders vroeger: van turf. Maar dan met meer hout en staal erbij dat het langer houdt. Of iets met wol als isolatie.
Explain me how you solve the problem of waste water and sewage treatment plants before I might start to admire your project.
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.
Typo in your title! Great video though.
Wish I wasn't disabled and could live like this 😞
I believe it would be wise to start living a way of life using the least possible electricity.
Mailbox #32 seems quite ordinary.
this is what i imagine project kamp would be but ....
The music is far too loud. I couldn't watch this because of how loud and annoying the music is.
💗💗💗
Even if everything isn t perfect, it s should be the norm
Actually not self sufficient at all (maybe in energy) but still nice.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
the moment i heard "diversity" i knew where this was going
I'm starting to think it was referring to biodiversity as in various fauna and flora..
Where's your forest?
"Eartship"? Is that like an Earthship?
this in spain and im moving
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 ♡♡♡

Le plus difficile dans ces projets c’est l’adhésion des personnes et le budget. Est-ce que ce type de projet est abordable à tous ? Dans le temps est-ce que cela fonctionne ? As ton asser de recul ?
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.
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.
Beautiful. But certainly not "self-sufficient" nothing is an island. Also where is their farm?
Self sufficiency in a modern society is a myth
"Self-sufficient" is a polite way of stating I am poor and DESTITUTE!👍😂
So u grow all ur food here?
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
*earthships?
It looks to be a beautiful concept, and an idyllic place to live. I wonder how difficult it would be to try something like this in the UK? It seems like over here, there'd always be one numpty that would ruin it for everyone.
I hate to use the word communism because of the negative connotations that are often associated with it (especially in the USA), but this does seem like the perfect form of communism...
But my superhumans...
Can earthships be scaled up for more Apartments?
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.
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.
pretty expensive eutopia
Had not expected a video of a guided tour around an eco-village with Vladimir Lenin to pop up in my recommended but I can't say I'm disappointed.
But how does your community generate an income?
The guy stated that the people who live their are from all kinds of professions so that must mean that many people who live there work jobs outside of their community.
I think the weather needs talking about more, you have haze filled skys, which will block your solar farm. The skys are being geo engineered and not enough of us are speaking up
You see, the thing is, that's just BS
I like this project. A little research on how green electric cars are might be beneficial. The production and longevity of electric cars is not good. I do like how this village community is run.
What’s an eartship?
An earthship is a sustainable living concept for housing developed by Mike Reynolds. They are usually built from second hand materials. The walls are most often built with discarded car tires which are packed with earth and then sealed up with clay. On the north side there is a thick earthen wall and a glass wall on the south. (Or the other way around on the southern hemisphere) The earth wall and the soil in the tire walls take up the heat from the sun during the day while radiating out this heat at night. I have seen videos of earthships in Canada that only needed additional heating a few days a year in winter!
"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.
How do you find the people to be sacrificed during midsommar?
It's nice if you're a very social person. I'm not. :P
Rich people only.
Why do you think so?

This just comes off as an artsy pretentious version of a trailer park.
Car tire walls is bad idea because of off gassing from rubber
living in all this radiation can't be called eco!
Which radiation?
@@ScheveSneeuwSchuifSchep 😂🐑
Electric cars? Honestly how’s that working for planet earth. Definitely not eco
Electric cars are way better than petrol/diesel cars.
@@royalroy93 how?
@@royalroy93yea not really rn. The resources to make the batteries is gathered from machines running on diesel, the electric youre getting from a charging station more often then not is still being generated from burning fossil fuels and youre recharging like 1.75x as often as you would refuel with gasoline. If the car were able to be built from the ground up to completion with only clean energy then were able to reliably be recharged with clean energy only it would be what it is advertised as and by definition would be clean and helping the environment. However to do that then the (lets use tesla for ease of use. ) tesla would have an atronomical price increase and at that point why would Tesla or any manufacturer want to continue? They wouldnt, it would be too costly as then the market shrinks. Less and less xan afford the vehicle so costs go way up and revenues go way down. the primary goal is to make money off of you. The way it currently works is that you are being sold a lie and being thankful for it.
@@wolfeyq7536 not to mention their heavy wear on tyres some needing to be replaced after 7-500 k s. The cars weigh 30 pc more so that’s wear and tear on roads as well
Perfect is the enemy of good.
It's funny to see people spouting big oil talking points, nitpicking people trying to improve the way they live.
I'll take an EV any day because there's a wealth of ways to generate electricity locally, clean or not. Not so much oil production/refrining. It's not all about having the perfect environmental solution, it's about self reliability and not being beholden to oil and all the baggage associated with it.
what is an ukrainian flag even doing there its Netherlands not ukraine wtf
Earthships what utter rubbish it’s houses call it low energy house not stupid earthship just makes me mad
"self-sufficient"... I wonder who makes the solar panels
this is a cult
Civilization is a cult. Life is a cult. Blue Oyster band is a cult😂
I don’t see fences or gates trapping them in.
Why is it a cult?
It's not a f****ng "earth ship", it's a house, a home. That's just a stupid term!
It's an earthship though, look it up, it's Mike Reynolds who coined the term.
How can you be so sustainable, and yet you cannot see how bad electric vehicles are? Such a contradiction.
Do your research, please!
why do you think it is not sustainable? If you charge an electric vehicle with renewable energy it is driving with zero emissions
@@sauresahne127this is true but the problem is in the production of the vehicles; the materials needed for electric car batteries cannot be sourced ethically and sustainably at the moment.
Can I join? I can bring a few hundred thousand US dollars. I can also raise kids, bake and cook super yummy food, build things and am an expert gardener. Oh, and I can break and train horses.
You are more likely to get an answer via a more "official" way to contact them. Maybe they have a website?
@@NickRedmark Sorry I'm kidding, while I would love to live in a place like that, I'm settled with kids haha
this has the bones of a cult. not the Earthship movement but their 'village'.
earthships? they are houses built of earth. cob building is older than usa.lets call it what it is.not some dysney fantasy.
Ya know, i love sustainability, but if i have to live in a commnial house, I'd rather not live.
I deeply oppose all forms of communism. I hate societies like this. This is reason to sever ties with Europe!!!
This whole thing is actually the idea of an American named Mike Reynolds who has a whole community based on this idea in Arizona. What is communist about this? Why do you hate it so much?
Then you oppose all kinds of genuine human interaction.
I could have done with less talkie talkie snd it would have been nice to just have more visuals. Way too much time standing in one spot talking. No one is clicking on this video for that.
Nobody cares what you like, anonymous online hater. Go click on some click bait and leave the educational documentaries for adults.
I love the stability and maturity of exposition. Seeing someone standing and talking personalizes the space, and helps me visualize not just what it looks like, the nuts and bolts, but also the impact to the people living there, which is way more important than the nuts and bolts. And we have the freedom to disagree.
Cult
You say there are about 150 people in the "self-sufficient" village. Now, how many hectares do you use to sustain them?
Because the habitable surface of the earth being about 80 million square kilometers, or 1 hectare/person with an earth population of 8 billions. That's 1 hectare for everything: housing, producing food (agriculture), producing goods (industry), moving around (roads, trains, harbors, airports...) and finally, hopefully, preserved land.
Which means if the total surface of your village + agricultural land is more than ~80 hectares (to make for external production and communication areas), your way of life is not sustainable for humanity in its current numbers.
Dense cities and industrial agriculture are the only way to sustain ourselves in an eco-friendly way.
While I see the point you make and agree with it for the main part I heavily disagree with your final conclusion that modern cities and industrial agriculture are the only solution. It is no way forward and does not solve nor even adress any of the problems we are facing.
