I came upon this forum randomly when looking at Sketchup models, with references to this group. I thought a project I had done might be of interest. I made a 450sq. ft structure using only 2x4's, shade cloth, latex concrete, and PVC hubs. It was also spray foamed on the interior. It has been standing for 5 years and has worked great. It has withstood texas weather and even a snow load.
I'm hoping to do another larger project next year. But, I'd like to do a kind of mish-mash of an Earthship and a Geodesic tunnel/hyperion. Anybody have any ideas?
Those are the photos of the build. I'll post some photos of the inside sometime.
