Derek "Deek" Diedricksen visits an Earthship (the architectural brainchild of Michael Reynolds) in Taos, New Mexico. The particular model, like many others, features earth berm air intakes, a water recycling system for its grey water, and the luxury of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and even a two car garage! Ashley Turin gives us a full out tour of this, one of the newest Earthship builds on the Taos compound. This sustainable and passive solar home just may give you a few ideas for your own future designs. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
It does not make any sense to me why anyone would leave a negative comment. This information and tour is absolutly wonderful. Congratulations on this achievement.
The only somewhat negative comment I have is that the tour guide seemed in a hurry to get the heck out of there!. Otherwise she was very knowledgeable.

You could post a video on how to easily prevent aging, achieve world peace, make everyone wealthy and reverse global climate change, and someone would comment “Ugh..get a microphone screen. I can’t take all the p popping sounds.” I don’t get it, but it is pretty much inevitable and just ignore.
Yeh I know right
Not trying to leave a negative comment but the garage beams, for their mass are too closely spaced together which = more trees cut down unnecessarily and also imported because New Mexico doesn’t have lumber that size native. Y’all are adorable, but you are only face value hippies
Why are the comments flooded with people calling her a hippy and insulting her? She's just doing her job and doing it well besides. These houses are probably one of the better places to live in all honesty.
Yeah it helps the universe!!!
Why? Envy, that’s why.
The person giving the tour was great. Not sure why she was getting negative comments.
Would smash
She's a cutie.
I know why lol
As a salesmen she was my so great the dude had to pull I do from her she was nervous. I had to stop 6:38 into cause I couldn’t deal with her. Looks great, they need a stronger speaker.
I would employ this woman in an absolute second.
She delivers a fantastic, informative, coherent pitch for this build... and does it in a really pleasant way.
My wife and I rented a b&b one of these in Taos for a couple days vacation in the summer, have to say it was wonderful. One thing that I was not expecting was the absolute silence. No AC or fans constantly running, no road noise whatsoever. Fell asleep to the sound of the wood stove crackling all cozy. The smell of it was a bit like a cave because of the water system but honestly it didn’t bother me. I can’t speak for the durability or longevity of the construction but the dwelling felt incomparably more eco friendly than anywhere else I’ve been.
She's a good guide, very easy to listen to! I find earthships so intersting
Fsdgdsfk SDGsdgsdff HEAR HEAR, HAHAHA
you are a complete idiot,
Agreed. She's easy to listen to and also easy to look at.
+ut000bs She is a real sweetheart!
you guys are all 100% objectively pathetic. and subjectively unintelligent.
This girl is like the energizer bunny. And she knows her stuff.
the tour guide is so endearing.
Yeah, she's very charming and natural.
This is my favorite style of earthship home. If I ever get financially set where I can get the land for an earthship home I'd want this style. But right now I'm lucky to have 2 quarters to rub together after I pay bills.
Do you own a house? Maybe sell it and get the land and a cheap camper to stay in and get started?
People commenting/complaining this doesn't work everywhere on Earth or you don't like 1 aspect. OK. Change it. Hell this company has a school to teach you how to come up with your own design. The "one house fits all" design we have in America is exactly where all our ecological and waste problems come from. No ONE design is going to fit all. Some places won't get the rainfall, have to come up with a different water source. Some places you can't go underground, have to go up. Some places are far too hot or cold to have one wall and a greenhouse, OK, CHANGE IT. BE INSPIRED, NOT CYNICAL. Custom works for who it's designed for. Find what works.
I totally Agee with what you said, and to add to it. I feel like not all places on earth need to be inhabited like we think, so people could leave and go somewhere else.

No, there are green models that work in any climate. The Earthship itself isn't that effective outside the desert because it is an optimised design for a dry arid environment. Evap cooling doesn't work well in a humid environment. That is why green eco-homes built outside the earthship model tend to be much smaller. One reason the ES is so large is that it uses that roof coverage to collect water which is the limiting factor in that climate. Not heating or cooling - which scale pretty well.
In environments with much more water you can't cool nearly so well. So interior volume to heatsink ratio changes to smaller more concentrated spaces. (most "tiny" homes ignore the concept entirely and just add more solar panels for mini-splits)
That massive greenhouse on the front only works due to that same overcooling -- in other climates the "sun features" are significantly reduced.
nailed it dino man. different people have different housing needs. And if anyone THINKS they can find a better solution than this in terms of waste management, energy conservation, comfortability and AWESOMENESS, keep dreaming
Daniel Sifrit I am moving from southern AZ near the Mexico border to the coast of Maine next summer. Your comment reflected how I was thinking the needs would change from this arid desert area to the humid frozen coastal region. I apologize for my ignorance, what do you mean by the green eco housing you referred to (not a direct quote, my friend.)? I appreciate any opinion and replies...
Mike Reynolds and friends. Congratulations and so well done. Your houses just keep getting better and better.
Girl got her sales pitch on..
give that lady some water.
She talked her throat dry😂😂
Loved this tour! We visited the same community in May and toured the sample earthship that is a similar design. Neat to see it as an actual home.
She is a very knowledgeable Host. Makes for a great review. Thanks Deek.
+Geoffery Goggins. It's a lost cause. As I always say, the internet is basically Lord of the Flies writ large. We all complain about what a mess the world is, but it's not at all a surprise, with so many people clearly being massive a-holes just waiting to spread hate any time they get a chance. And the internet is their chance. They are living in the Golden Age of A-holes. It hasn't been this good for them since the middle ages probably.
Firstly, I agree with surferdude50. She was good and I thank Deek, too.
Secondly, I think Geoffery is pissed off at something. :)
Thirdly, and to be personally honest, I'd like to see her wiggling.
Wow!
I'm so grateful for people like you all! We have every answer to our "problems" - global warming ; energy; rising waters; no more oil. Every Answer has been provided.
Our Blindness is continually self re-inflicted by our own hands. Thanks again
I took a workshop and stayed in one of the Earthship houses. The videos don't do the beauty of the houses justice. They are truly works of art.
Nice to see it finished. I helped on their plumbing many many yrs ago. My ranch was about 7 miles from theirs and the last time I seen it it was mainly a frame, tires, glass.
That's very very cool Todd Corey. Nice to talk to someone who worked on it. rare occasion:
I think I'm going to do this. I don't want a typical American home on grid. I want to enjoy my retirement. lol. But I'd add something to this house if it was mine, I'd add a passive roof harvesting water collection System IF they don't already have it AND I'd add a solar panel roof out there ontop of the roof water harvesting system so the roof collects water that falls on the solar panels and the panels create electricity while a Freight Shipping Container is posted somewhere out back and under ground to be the power room where the racks of batteries are kept and the charge controller and transformer are kept. I'd also add a Rain water harvesting chicken coop outside with electrical fence around chicken area to protect against invaders and a electrical fence around the whole property so the chicken's can free range but are not allowed near the drive way only the grassy areas and dirt areas. I'd add a optional Solar Chimney for if people want it built in colder climates so the house is more versatile AND Lastly I'd add a Solar Water Heater too and a Solar powered Shed out back to work on my car lol. All electrical components are connected underground to Freight shipping container power room which recieves it's electricity from the roofs of the home and shed's solar panels. Small wind mill electrical generators connected to chimney and hoisted on tallest part outside of chimeny and free moving so sky wind moving in any direction can have strongest effect in generating more electricity to contribute to power room in the shipping container that has all those batteries on racks.
@@DylanBegazo Sounds like you have a plan.
The natural cooling effect of the walls sold me. That's the whole deal as far as I'm concerned. Every house I have ever live in did not have adequate cooling.
I like this style of house, it's different to the norm. The host Ashley is knowledgeable, polite, and intelligent.
1:10 You captured that pole so prominently, really allowing it to stand out. Excellent camera work.
GENIUS AT WORK, the human brain at it's full potential. BRAVO!!!
Mike's a talented guy, everything is done to an extremely high standard. However, I bet the average Joe couldn't afford such a home. Which is not only a great shame but dare I say defeating the object.
Ashley has done an incredible job of making it easy and interesting for all viewers! thank you for the post
America has been getting ribbed off by the corrupt bs building corporations, and really all corporation's for decade's. this is such a better, cleaner, more pleasant way of life. Hats of to the both of you, And she is an amazing tour guide .wow how informative. Thank you ,and peace, love, and prosperity to all.💘 i would love to have that company build me one of these amazing home's.
I love the house. Thank you for showing us the inside of the house. I love it. It’s very beautiful. I love the going green idea, using less energy, using as much as possible, of the natural process that is available to us by nature.
I like the recycled water idea, save water, use less energy, & more of nature’s natural energy.
That home is beautiful! I love the greenhouse buffer spaces.
The person being interviewed seemed very intelligent and knowledgeable! Love seeing in depth videos on earthships
I love how she knews everything she talking about 😍
Very informative young lady! Well, spoken and a pleasure to listen too. I Love these global homes and want one for my next home. The only aspect I would like is more tree's.
Yes, a great video. I think Ashley is fantastic ! Thanks for sharing the Earthship ! Time to cook.
MICHAEL IS FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME! A GENIUS WITH A VISION!
Kudos to Ashley Turin who is hosting the tour. She does an amazing job at dispersing information and keeping it relate able and interesting. I am really impressed with her delivery.
What a bright woman! Thank you Deek!
"Dream The Future" (HBOmax) S1 E2 an EarthShip was featured; had to watch more coverage of these homes. Thank you for the tour.
Great Tour! She explained everything super well!!!
Haven't seen/ caught Deek in quite a while, glad to see he's well and still doing what he loves. Keep up the great work !!!
Very well presented, she knows her stuff...
I think it tis' so sweet that they re-inspire and make people Dream again after soon much loss. And sweetened their hopes again.🐣
Read an article years ago, mid 60's, about an engineer living in Colorado. His house in October had 63 temp, with no heaters. His walls were rammed earth, must have a percentage of clay. North side windows were one foot tall, south side full length. South side had extended eves to keep sun out in the summer. But in the winter when the sun went south, he had convection heating. The house was built in 1947!!! Yep! we've had this type technology for years, just wasn't promoted. Actually the technology goes back centuries.....The tube for cooling can be done with a backhoe and one foot plastic pipe!!!
Any names, possibly Web Links, TH-cam videos, Etc. About the 1947 House?
you should check out a guy from north dakota on this ladies Kristen's channel, he built his house 40 years ago and its geo thermal, thats even better, he build a greenhouse to grow tropical fruits inside, and built it so it slopped down to the earth on one side. He used the same plan for his house so he wouldnt have to pay for heat.
I must learn how to do this! I am sure it wasn't prompted because the energy companies would much rather line their pockets than to have people heating and cooling their homes for free without pollution. What a sad thing
Vigas is Spanish for beams. Greetings from Costa Rica.
Why would u not luv this house? I think it was beautifully done. I wouldn't live under ground, but I do think the house is gorgeous.
This is one of the best tours ever- thanks so much!
OMG!!! THAT HOBBIT TREEHOUSE IN VERMONT IS MY DREAM HOUSE/ CASTLE IN THE SKY.... LOVE TO WAKE~&~ BAKE THERE EVERY MORN 👌👍 🌲🌲🌲🌄🌅🌞🌞
Awesome my favorite thing in the US never get tired of seeing these posts..
Thank you Ashley! This was quite informative and easy to understand and follow. It is always nice to see how earthship technology has evolved! This home looks cozy.
And you too Pamela can have one for a $ 1 million dollar deposit after you buy the land, get a building permit, pay property tax and buy a really good 3/4 ton truck so you can drive 50 miles one way to get your food and water and propane and beer and building materials . Think that would work for you? And, have no friends for 40 miles. A woman would go insane.
Love it. Earthship design is so clever and sustainable, all depends on location where it's being built. Nice vid
This earthship was awesome, but honestly the guide did an amazing job! The way she explained everything you can tell she's super passionate about conversation. It's super attractive when you find a girl that can articulate herself so well!
Iron Mountain it's also nice she spent most of the time in the kitchen area very rare these days.
Never stop what you're doing it's absolutely amazing what people can do!
Wow!! Finally seeing tour after all these years! This was AWESOME!! And Ashley was great too, very energetic, cute, and informative. Thanks guys! :)
This is my home design of choice.
She is great! These houses are super cool, and intelligent!!!
Lovely,so many of these types of houses look like hovels.This one is truly a family home.Congrats.
This is how my grandparents build their homes in the county.Not as nice as this home.They made a little creek for all the, what they call now grey water, with fruit trees on both sides. A well in the back,they had a filtration system for drinking water.Which was a big barro pot with sand, rocks or charcoal, to remove the minerals from the water. Which will drip all the time into a cantaro for drinking and cooking water. I'm saying all this,to say this. This is nothing new,people have being doing this for centuries
She’s cute- did an excellent job!
Totally great people I love individuals who think outside of the box
Beautful house. We are moving deeper into the desert and have been looking for great ideas to modify an existing desert home. Thank you for the ideas. And to those complaining about the price of this home " Do it yourself "
Stunning design. Build times and costs will only go down. Forget hydro companies. Forget gas companies. Self sufficiency all the way!
Coming out to one of the communities next month. Staying in one of the earthships for 3 nights. As a general contractor Im really excited to some of the construction.
Nice tour, Deek. Michael Reynolds has long been one of my heroes. His work informs my understanding of passive environmental systems. Reynolds, with formal architectural training, early on said 'F- the corporate world, I'm doing something real and meaningful' and quit his job and moved to Taos. He embodies Robert Frost's poem --- The Road Not Taken.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The Man rocks!
James Polk The Road Less Traveled but yea... I stand corrected! 👍 must be thinking of something else. 🤔
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
This is what everyone hoped Blossom would have blossomed into.
Abssolutteely stunning!
Yes she is. The house too😊
Crazy as its sounds, but this is the future, as is now compared to traditional housing
How? This can't be done in Manhattan. The U.S is geographically enormous. Taos and Miami might as well be on different planets.
Mordant Vistas
I think what Eric was getting at is it's extremely labor intensive. I'm fairly sure if you didn't/couldn't do a large part of it yourself it might be expensive.
As far as this construction goes there's a good reason it's primarily in the southwest. Adobe doesn't work for Miami. We have high humidity and a lot of rain.
Manhattan isn't sustainable and the cost of living is astronomical. REAL PEOPLE can't live in NYC/LA/etc. but they CAN live like this, and live well at that
I think I'm going to do this. I don't want a typical American home on grid. I want to enjoy my retirement. lol. But I'd add something to this house if it was mine, I'd add a roof harvesting System IF they don't already have it AND I'd add a solar panel roof out there ontop of the roof water harvesting system so the roof collects water that falls on the solar panels and the panels create electricity while a Freight Shipping Container is posted somewhere out back and under ground to be the power room where the racks of batteries are kept and the charge controller.

That's fascinating, the tour guide is awesome, I just wish the guy filming would actually look at what she's talking about.
Absolutely brilliant!!! I’m blown away. Is there any expansion planed? So that people , like myself, in Europe, may have direction, to build in a similar way?
This is exactly, the type of home, I’ve longed for.
And I think is sustainable, in the English country side.
But there is nothing like this quality , and thought through creation, that I’ve found on this side of the pond.
We so desperately need solutions like these.
And homes that no longer take, but integrate, into the environment.
I just love this home. And I know, there are many like myself. Who are unaware of what’s possible, yet eager to heal and build better.
Any direction appreciated.
. .
Pure talent right there! Think what he could do with a whole work force behind him!
Cute host :) nice house too
Did you see that minimalistic air conditioner?????
Jerry C That's a revolting comment. Taking account of oneself might become a towards empathy.
I would love to live in one of these but with a much larger greenhouse area because I love to grow plants.
Can you afford 500,000... I can't?
Very well planned out, it is so nice to see these projects.
very exciting stuff! May it spread and become much more common!
Tiny Houses, Earthships, it's all about economy and green living! I LOVE these buildings but I hear the cooling features don't work so well in areas with high humidity. Thanks Deek!
cob houses are great in humid areas and are somewhat similar to earthships in materials but with different design mechanics behind them. so you can look into those for an adaptation of an earthship in a humid area. they are also more of an ancient form of architecture dating back thousands of years.
I dream about building one of these. This one was stunning =)
Bravo Jesus Synonym für Liebe... freut sich..!!! Geniale Erfindung! Seemeilen Group!

Great home . Ashley is very lovely
The earth has all these resources and instead of tapping into the NATURAL resources, we buy ARTIFICIAL homes and breath them all night (while sleeping) when we CAN SAVE A TON OF MONEY while STAYING ALL NATURAL. ITS A NO BRAIN-ER FOR ME NOW !
I wouldn't mind living in one of these.
Outstanding home....not having to rely on cities!! Well built !! Great job on your tour Ashley. You're beautiful as well !!
She did such an incredible job leading us through this earthship home. She could have her own show on HGTV!
I LOVE this 😀 ❤️ AMAZING 👏 😍
EFFICIENT AND A SMART HOME
Excellent ideas....love the home
Hope they share this with their children and grandchildren.
Beautiful. Only thing that bothers me is in the sunroom and any and all Windows that have no screened protection. Reason being is all the little critters making their way in when you aren't monitoring.
Tire bails are a great alternative to pounding dirt into tires for the back walls. They can be stacked in a day and they're just as good as packed tires. Plus they use more tires so they clean up more mess.
OMG Absolutely bloody stunning!!!! Ashleigh blew me away with her knowledge and her articulation, huge kudos to her. I would love to be able to afford an earthship for a home here in Australia. Michelle
bohemiangypsy99 My friend is building one in her backyard, just her and her husband!
+Jessica Mullens Hey Jess are they in Australia? If so are they doing YT videos for the build? I would love to see it being done. Hubby and I are in our 60's well hang on I'm 60 lol and hubby is 65, so I don't think we could do it on our own. Recently my Dad passed and left us three kids his estate so we have money coming and if the price is right I would love to build one if possible. Please let me know and thanks Jess. Michelle

Jerry C not according to their website. $225/sf - $250/sf puts a 2,000 sf house at over half a million dollars just on construction and plans. Not sure where you're from, but that is definitely not cheaper than standard construction in most parts of the U.S.
Well Tim I'm from NSW Australia and that sort of money won't even get you a house in the city of Sydney. In country areas for a nice home you are looking at over 1/4 million dollars now. Prices are astronomical on the east coast of Australia. Michelle
I never get tired of seeing earthships.
I really love the way it was built. I'm looking at the process for building like this great job thanks again
Suggestion for the ongoing study of earth ship housing: aluminum cans cut into roofing shingles
Love that fridge! I want one!
What an absolutely gorgeous home! Thanks for another informative video, Deek. The Earthship has wiggled it's way into my top 3 alternative living options. That stained glass placement is brilliant. ♡
That home is absolutely beautiful, i love it.❤
It's not an underground house it's a sideground house am I right or wrong
Beautiful! Never seen 2 bathrooms in a tiny home EVER
Such a dream house.Just missing money to build it...Greetings to all from the heart of Europe.
Great! May everybody would wake up for the serious consciousness!
Great video and the nicest Earthship house I have seen!
Great video and my dream home is an Earthship!
Stayed in one of the Taos earthships, last year. Such a great experience.
Really pretty,neat an very unique home.I love using the earth to cool the house naturally=awesome.
I want a house like this :)
i have already seen some of these houses and find them really good, provided you know what you are doing, otherwise it will be difficult
Love the floating headboard idea.
Fascinating & beautiful. I always thought this type of house made the most sense. So glad to see it.
