Kristina is a structural engineer who designed and helped build this off-grid passive solar home with solar panels, solar hot water heaters, rainwater collection, a composting toilet, and a greywater garden. It's a pretty impressive and functional Earthship inspired home and she lives here with her partner Matt in Colorado.

This is fabulous and I LOVE her foresight to think about the house as a home throughout all the changes in her life, from single mom to partnership to golden years. Beautiful.

[tacooflove]

I absolutely love these two 😍 They are not pretentious and showed the thermal dynamics of there home and why it’s so efficient very well, I appreciate that. I wish you all a happy new year 🎉

[sirbalanced]

what a amazing woman, already in working in the field, and than, took all the courses, seminars, books. I love this.

[sarahjosephine]

“we just live an abundant life” - love it!

Genius! What else can you say about a female engineer who accomplished what Kristina did. Of course, she found the right partner, and what an incredible life they created around this wonderfully designed home. Awesome video!

[shaunhall]

I live in Colorado too and I plan to do the same only with a smaller home. I think this would also be ideal for a group of people who pool their resources and build a small community together. If you get your mindset of doing things conventionally and look at other alternatives your life will see a vast improvement. This is very inspiring for me. Thank you for sharing this!

Awesome. This is a real "HOME". Get the "warm" feeling. Wonderful structural engineer.

What an amazing woman-so smart. She carefully designed this living space and it clearly works for her and her partner/her family from a utilitarian standpoint (power, accessibility, etc.

[anthonysinclair]

This might just be the best earthship-esque house I have seen! So nice!👍😎☕

[traceyhill]

What a stunning home, Kristina must be proud of what she has achieved here. So lovely that you can reside in such as beautiful part of the world too. How wonderful.

[karenstanislaw]

This is wonderful . The enthusiasm and connectedness these two have for their home and property, and the success with which it's all come together - serving and nurturing this family - is a pleasure to behold. An unsual vitality lights both their faces. My admiration for a vision well, maturely executed, and the subsequent, deserved joy that has marked their decades. Continued joy to them - many, many years forward.

9:25 is brilliant! I absolutely love work WITH nature and not against as humans did for thousands of years before electricity. I know a lot of the techniques but this one was new.

[OurRetiredLife]

That big room with all the sunlight and the tropical plants looks heavenly! We love your home Kristina & Matt! And to Mat & Danielle, thank you for featuring them!

[patriciagarcia]

Very inspiring for the the ones that are looking into living off the grid. Love it. Thank you

[susannjarvis]

Amazing house. She was so thoughtful about the design and the details. I don't think I have ever seen as beautiful and smart an Earthship-style home before. There are certainly some interesting ones out there, but, again, the attention to detail on this home was so impressive. Building the windows to a height so you can wash them without having to get on a stool or ladder. Being able to easily access the roof for snow removal (no ladder required she said) and designing the roof to be a giant water collector for when it rains. Brilliant.

[tracieparker]

Your home is absolutely wonderful; what a beautiful and blessed dream come true to live in such freedom! Genius! Thank You for sharing!

[scarlettfrancesca]

This video was phenomenal! The amount of thoughtfulness, planning, mindfulness and awareness that when into this creation is truly magnificent! The design is gorgeous, the layout is lovely and I really appreciate that this couple also wants to share their wisdom with the world through the art of writing and YouTube as well! Thank you so much for sharing your world with us 🎉
