Affordable Earthen Homes Natural Building Blog
inhabitat.com presented a collection of eight small earth homes that almost anyone can afford and half of them are built with earthbags!
La Casa Vergaras dome shape may captivate the eye, but

architect Jose Andres Vallejo, is made from earthbags, or tubular
bags stuffed with earth. Exposed timber beams and plentiful

These charming hobbit-like dwellings are prefabricated

Magic Green Homes adapt to any topography around the world.
