Ohio Earthship Biotecture: A Sustainable Sanctuary

♻ Built from the Earth, For the Earth

Garbage transformed into a living, breathing building.

Designed to exist in harmony with the environment, our Earthship is more than just a building; it is a living demonstration of how we can reduce our carbon footprint while increasing our quality of life. The goal of living mortgage free.

Constructing this architectural marvel was a labor of love and community effort. The structure utilizes "recyclables" that would otherwise sit in landfills, transforming it into thermal mass walls that provide natural insulation and strength.

• 1,400+ Recycled Tires: Packed with 350lbs of earth each to form the massive load-bearing walls. A steel belted rubber encased brick.
• 490,000 lbs of Dirt: Pounded into the tires by hand to create dense, temperature-regulating thermal mass.
• 400+ Cases of Glass Bottles: Used to create beautiful, stained-glass-like walls that let in light while maintaining insulation.
• 200+ Cases of Aluminum Cans: Used as filler in the interior walls, mortared with mud.
• 1.25 Million Pounds: The estimated total weight of natural and recycled materials used to create this sanctuary.
