Earthship Jamaica

One of the earthships that might function as a reference for the one in Cameroon is located in Negril, Jamaica. There does not seem to be an official site for it, so I aggregated some data from different websites.

A good start is the website of Nadine Pauland, she helped building the earthship.

As you can see, it is quite tropical in Jamaica, just like coastal Cameroon.

Also the roof is not flat, but dome shaped. Makes sense, it is a traditional way of building in many warm countries.

Furthermore the building is following the roof its shape and is circular.

On the rooftop they installed an interesting 3 layered skylight.
