Every time I watch this build, I am in AWE at ALL of the phenomenal work done at every stage of the build. The whole complex or building is a work of art, and then the items that would typically be considered art is just off the charts great!!! Magnificent!!! Bravo, everyone, BRAVO!!!
I have researched this for many years. I am almost finished with mine. It recently withstood 7.1 wnd 6.4 earthquakes eith ZERO damage. 3 years ago over 250 structures on the other side of the kake from me were lost to wild fire. I am hoping more will open theur minds and sed the strength as well as the beauty of this type of build. The one one in this video is by far the most beautiful I have seen! Awesome work ! All the best to you all ! 👍👍👍👍👍 HungryWulf

Dear commenters, Thank you for the feedback. Prior to building this structure we built with tires and bamboo. We also built this structure. ua-cam.com/video/EtK2V3lMiu0/v-deo.html as a trial run. What we discovered during the construction of this building was that earthbag buildings such as this, although strong, are not as easily replicable as tire buildings, in earthquake and hurricane prone Guatemala. I agree with one of the comments about not receiving enough square footage for all of the work necessary which is one of the reasons we dont do this more often. However, because we are building a school, what we lost in sq feet we gained in the structural integrity of a round (is sound) building. The reason we have added so much art, is b/c the rooms are filled with students and teachers, the campus with families, community members, and visitors.
Hiya I am no building expert but can you please enlighten me why when people build these type of buildings are always round and not square or rectangle? Thanks
@@wumao6797 "Round is sound" is the basic architectural concept. In Guatemala there are a lot of earthquakes and so rather than putting the weight in each corner of the building, the weight is evenly distributed. Make sense?

It would be indeed! And we are working hard to make it happen. In fact, back in 2013, our construction foreman, Romeo, became the first person in the LWH team to do so, followed by our Construction Manager, Roberto, in 2018.

Hey Audrey! You are absolutely right in that it is easier to use adobe blocks, which is what we've used in pretty much all of our buildings. With this building in particular though, we wanted to try something different (that's part of the beauty of green building, you can have a lot of fun in trying out various construction methods, materials and techniques!) It was indeed a lot of work but the result is magnificent, at least in our eyes, and this building ended up becoming the focal point of our campus -it's the first thing everyone wants to see when they come to visit us in Comalapa.

Amazing! Those are some big earthbag domes! Love the idea of tin can rooftiles. Very inventive! Not sure about the plastic bottle ones though, i imagine them degrading and eventually falling apart relatively quickly. But enough of that, i wonder who are living there now?
Hi there, Merlin! The answer is yes, eventually they will break down. However, our research shows that in the 5 years we have had shingles up in that building, none have broken down yet. If anything, once they start deteriorating, the idea is to replace them with new ones and stuff the old ones in tires. For your second question: the first floor of that building is actually comprised of 3 classroom and 1 bathroom, and on the second floor there is an office and two guest rooms that are currently being used by our Executive Director and our Green Building Academy instructor. Thank you for watching our videos! You can learn more about our work, school and education model at www.lwhome.org. Hope you're having a good day :)

@mattpaneitz3348 thanks!! Also I'm curious about the sizes of the bags, there a need of smaller size bags for the upper parts of the dome? Or use same size for all???
@@reptilianfeline To build these domes we used 24", 22" and 18" as we went up. If the question is; "What size bag do I need for the dome I'd like to build" ...the answer is: It depends on the diameter.
Hola, Perdoncito, los compramos en 2012 y ya no se como comprarlos de nuevo. Hay que buscar donde fabrican rollos de costales antes de coserlos, en la ciudad.

What is shotcrete? I wonder if its available in rural Guatemala. Mostly we wanted to explore the process and see if it could replicated in rural Guatemala at a reasonable cost. Our decision was, not so much.
@Jogiv2 Machine1 on buildings the most efficient placement for insulation is on the outside. So, you want shotcrete with embedded rebar inside then aircrete on the outside. That way the inner concrete can act as a heat sink. This plus the outer insulation flattens the temp swings inside in the day/night cycle.
This is the first video Im watching about this and I really hope to make one one day. Could you tell me what is the price of building comparing to classic architecture? And how is the thermal isolation? Is it possible to build it in any climate zones? Thank you so much! Amazing work! :)
Sorry it has take so long to respond. We are finally working on a materials list so anybody can price the buildings out. If there is anything else we can do to facilitate construction please visit us at lwhome.org and leave a message. Thanks

@@mattpaneitz3348 gracias por responderme tan pronto, tengo entendido que los domos monolíticos están capacitados para resistir sismos, pero entiendo la precaucion al tratarse de una escuela, saludos y mucho éxito.
@@cascaradeluna Gracias por ver nuestro video y por sus comentarios y preguntas. Estamos para servir y a la orden.
Ademas, jeje, www.lwhomegreen.org/ ya estamos listo para compartir una decada de investigacion.
Amazing! Those are some big earthbag domes! Love the idea of tin can rooftiles. Very inventive! Not sure about the plastic bottle ones though, i imagine them degrading and eventually falling apart relatively quickly. But enough of that, i wonder who are living there now?
Hi there, Merlin! The answer is yes, eventually they will break down. However, our research shows that in the 5 years we have had shingles up in that building, none have broken down yet. If anything, once they start deteriorating, the idea is to replace them with new ones and stuff the old ones in tires. For your second question: the first floor of that building is actually comprised of 3 classroom and 1 bathroom, and on the second floor there is an office and two guest rooms that are currently being used by our Executive Director and our Green Building Academy instructor.
Thank you for watching our videos! You can learn more about our work, school and education model at www.lwhome.org. Hope you're having a good day :)
wow
Thank you. If you wanna see something else that's awesome, you should check out the blueprints, materials lists and more on all our buildings: www.lwhomegreen.org
Currently living in Ventura California but planning to build a Super Adobe Eco Resort in the Philippines. We would like to come see you. Been to CalEarth a few times here in CA. In a few weeks we are going to visit a nice home using Super Adobe near Joshua Tree National Park here in California.
Hello there! You are more than welcome to visit us anytime you're in Guatemala. Our Executive Director, Matt, would sure love to share some knowledge and experience with you! In the meantime, you can learn more about the work we do by visiting our website www.lwhome.org. We also invite you to join our fifth Green Building Academy in July this year, where we will be building a house from the ground up using various green building techniques and materials (more info: www.lwhome.org/academy). Best of luck with your project and thanks for watching our videos. Stay tuned as we hope to one day become a resource center for Green Building 😊
How much was spent to complete this project...
Happy birthday
We were building so many buildings at the same time that it’s not easy to say for sure. But, we have a materials list which you could use to investigate the cost if ya want.
I am 46 today. Thanks
www.lwhomegreen.org/ Ready for all of your wildest, cost related to Green Building, dreams to come true? www.lwhomegreen.org/ This is our green building compendium. Enjoy!!
So is that a private residence or a community center? With such ingenuity and art churches should be built with community labor.
It's a school. You can see the community members that were involved, in the video.
@@LongWayHomeOrg that’s so cool. It will last forever. They could use it as a fort if the town were attacked!
Need something in between 🛞 tires and sandbags???? Like barbed wire or rod
No, not inn between tires and sandbags. Only between sanndbags.
@mattpaneitz3348 thanks!! Also I'm curious about the sizes of the bags, there a need of smaller size bags for the upper parts of the dome? Or use same size for all???
@@reptilianfeline To build these domes we used 24", 22" and 18" as we went up. If the question is; "What size bag do I need for the dome I'd like to build" ...the answer is: It depends on the diameter.
@reptilianfeline we have added more detail to lwhomegreen.org
Fantastic video, I would really appreciate if you could explain how to get the correct dome curve for this two story construction.
Hi, Sorry it took an eternity to respond. We could set up a call if its not too late.

Hola buen día 🌄 me gustaría saber donde puedo conseguir costal para ecodomos estoy en Guatemala graciass lo requiero con urgencia
Hola, Perdoncito, los compramos en 2012 y ya no se como comprarlos de nuevo. Hay que buscar donde fabrican rollos de costales antes de coserlos, en la ciudad.
Y como los pidieron?
@@Tu_Libertad_Financiera7 en rollo de 50 metros.
Yo tengo una pregunta yo coloque un vidrio arriba en el domo y se filtra el agua que puedo hacer empecé el ecodomo en el 2018 y aún no hemos podido terminar por el invierno y los recursos
Si ponemos botellas de vidrio en las cupolas. El agua no entra por el estilo de construccion y esta sellado. Ayuda?
@@LongWayHomeOrg me harías el favor de mostrarme foto para mirar como las colocan?
Yo también quiero mi casa así
¡Gracias por tu comentario! Feliz de que te guste. Nos encantaría que te unieras al equipo.
Debería considerar asistir a una de sus Green Building Academies, se llevan a cabo cada marzo y julio. Después de la academia, tendrás las habilidades y el conocimiento para construir tu propia casa. Encuentre más información aquí: lwhome.org/academy.
This is awesome art.

How much would it cost to get someone to build this for me and how long?
Hi, it kind of depends on where you live and your access to materials. Where do you live?
Do those domes leak water?
Ours don't. However, they do if you dont seal them well.
Hola buenos dias me gustaria comprar el material los costales donde llenan de tierra para hacer una casa ecologica donde los puedo conseguir
No estoy seguro de dónde puede comprarlos, pero puede encontrar las listas completas de materiales en nuestro sitio web, si eso le ayuda: www.lwhomegreen.org

Why choose this when a shotcrete dome takes a small fraction of the time and material?
What is shotcrete? I wonder if its available in rural Guatemala. Mostly we wanted to explore the process and see if it could replicated in rural Guatemala at a reasonable cost. Our decision was, not so much.
@Jogiv2 Machine1 Aircrete has a SMALL fraction of the strength of shotcret
@Jogiv2 Machine1 on buildings the most efficient placement for insulation is on the outside. So, you want shotcrete with embedded rebar inside then aircrete on the outside. That way the inner concrete can act as a heat sink. This plus the outer insulation flattens the temp swings inside in the day/night cycle.

This is the first video Im watching about this and I really hope to make one one day. Could you tell me what is the price of building comparing to classic architecture? And how is the thermal isolation? Is it possible to build it in any climate zones? Thank you so much! Amazing work! :)
Sorry it has take so long to respond. We are finally working on a materials list so anybody can price the buildings out. If there is anything else we can do to facilitate construction please visit us at lwhome.org and leave a message. Thanks
You can now find all the blueprints, materials lists and more on all our buildings: www.lwhomegreen.org
Geez, just like the 60s, except further south.
www.lwhomegreen.org/ to see all of the variations.
Are these safe to bury?
Yes. The offgassing happens when the tires are on the car! The ones we use for the foundation do not heat up and there no chemical process happening.
@@mattpaneitz3348 Thank you! Awesome work!
19:09 there's clearly somebody's face sculpted in that window frame
Faces are fun to sculpt when working with cob. There are faces all over our campus. You can see more here: www.lwhomegreen.org/ 10 years of green building investigation, all in one place!! Enjoy.
Trying to find help in Panama? I would like to build one but it’s hard to find people that knows or are willing to learn. Most of the time they laugh because I don’t want to keep building with concrete.
Thank you so much. If you're interested in learning more about green building methods and learn how to build one by yourself, you should consider joining one of our Green Building Academies: lwhome.org/academy
Are your skills for hire? I'm building an earthbag home right now. I need help!
Where are you located?

@@darylgarrett1324 What problem are you having?
@@mattpaneitz3348 For one, I'm doing this alone. Also, I don't know much about roofing. I took the online class from cal-earth. Watching your videos is helping also.
@@darylgarrett1324 Alone is tricky. Let me know if we can help even if it’s only getting on a call to chat about roofs.
