Epic Off-Grid Home Built with Natural & Salvaged Materials #home #shorts

Freya's House is an off-grid green building that showcases multiple natural building techniques from straw bale, cob, and rammed earth walls, to earthen floors, a green roof, and reclaimed, salvaged and locally sourced materials. It uses solar power for electricity, a legal composting toilet, and on-site greywater filtration.

The house is located at O.U.R Ecovillage in Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, Canada which is a 25-acre Regenerative Living Demonstration, Research Center, and Bioregional School that hosts a land-based permaculture learning community. The O.U.R. vision is "sustainable well-being for the land, ourselves, and our worldwide village."

I'm so happy to see a rammed earth wall!
I have been thinking of one wall to catch winter sun and stabilize the temperature.

All the beautiful artistic flare, like the colored glass in the wall, layered color earth by the wood burner, etc, then a 3$ west Virginia chandelier in the kitchen that belongs in a crawl space 😂😅😊 ocd just went off the charts lol.
