The Earthship in Nicaragua seems to be part of a community called Casa Llanta and is located in El Carizal. It is sponsored by a real estate company and has a nice website, this is the build overview page. Interesting detail: it is built in two weeks time, oh make it a bit more: 30 or so – but still little time!
Haha, immediately you can see it is not a circular building with a dome roof. So my previous conclusion was wrong; a ‘conventional’ layout could work as well.
As you can see, it is really open – what about mosquitoes!? Dengue and malaria do not seem to be big problems in Nicaragua.
I like the sight of palm trees and solar panels!
Ah, here we are: there are domed roofs, but they were not visible from the first picture. Also I notice that they bermed the back wall a bit. I am not really sure why they did that – I think it is not necessary in this climate.
Here’s the video.
Again, a nice reference for Cameroon! This Casa LLanta blog is a bit nicer than the real estate agent’s one.
