Unique Sustainable Home Built with Nearly 100% Natural Materials - Green Building Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- The Eagleyew house is a beautifully sculpted custom green home built with nearly 100% natural materials! The light clay walls are made with a mixture of clay and straw, and the timber frame structure is built using wood from the property. There is a wraparound living roof, and the interior has earthen cob floors and natural plasters.
This house has three heat sources, including a passive solar design, a masonry stove, and an annualized geo solar system. There are also three solar hot water panels on the roof, a well for fresh water, a septic system for waste, and the house is connected to the grid for electricity.
In this video, Ezio, the owner, gives us a full tour, and he’s also going to share some of the challenges he’s encountered while building and living in this alternative energy-efficient home.

This house is what happens when you combine a talented artist, spiritualist, and an environmentalist.
@@drixacker a lot of $$$ for something that will last 300yrs is a wise decision.
@@riaelaine9268 I agree with you. But I would add that the space is a bit unnecessarily large for only one individual living there.
@@AUA-camCommentator I will be the first one to agree with you. At the same time, it has room for my returning children (and future grandchildren) and it has all that I need (and more)...
Basically the antithesis of a politician...
@@asafnisan Thanks!
I love how honest he is. His home and attitude is such an inspiration.
You are an honest person too.
How humans are meant to live with nature not fighting it. Gorgeous.
😊👍
This is a home that I can imagine myself aspiring to create one day.
Same ❣️
But likely won’t
If everyone lived this way we would be in a much better place globally
"house"... this is a freakin' MANSION. Well done.
I don't know what box you live in but that's a normal sized house.
Besides of all the good technical ideas to make this house eco-friendly, this is simply the most beautiful house I have ever seen.
The house is magical. It's like music. It combines art, science and spiritual.
well said...exactly that!
Thanks so much...
Fascinating!! This guy is living my dream. I hope to craft my own home like this some day. This was a beautifully produced episode! Great editing!
My God, this is indeed a true masterpiece of beauty, talent, craftsmanship, ingenuity, especially heart & soul. Ezio understands the relationship between nature, energy, creation & mysticism. I'd love to visit this magical marvel.
Come visit...
Anybody else getting an immensely strong fey-vibe from this amazing person? Just... a somewhat non-mortal forest being, extremely well-versed and careful in picking their words, adept at many crafting / building things and learned about a lot.
He already said he's gonna replace the roof in 30/40 years so hes gonna be here for a while
This house is, as he said, “a masterpiece”. He is an artist who brought his dream to life. I loved the view where you can’t tell which steps are going up and which are going down! I paused the video there, and sure enough! I couldn’t tell! That bowled me over, thinking that he had planned that long before the building stage!
Absolutely incredible, so artistic and smart! This man is a wonderful artist with multiple talents. You are so lucky to have a chance to meet him. A video that I will never forget! Thanks so much.
Thanks so much Jocelyne for the wonderful comment :)
My kind of house, filled with books.
I would say this is the perfect home for this person’s character. I’m sure he’s very proud of himself. Carry on.
I remember a line from the movie Bravehaeart "Every men dies, not every man really lives" I am happy to see this man is one of the latest. Awesome work.
This house is very impressive. The owner being a carpenter, he added much of his craftmanship to the woodwork, countertops and furniture pieces. The owner is a Renaissance man as he is very knowledgeable about many different things and appreciates the environment. too.
I love how his house is an extension of him and his passions.
Wow. Inspirational. I am 55 and hesitating to move into the boonies and build my own tiny home. Because why? Because I keep thinking I will die soon. And here is this guy older than me and talking about how he would need to change his roof in 30 or 40 years time.
If you act like your life is already over... it is. Continue to live your dreams until you no longer can. Then make new dreams. Good luck!
Love the heating idea
The man is five different persons rolled into one multi talented
Beautiful. His honesty was great about what’s gone wrong/what he loves. The design is great. His own wood working is very impressive. His whole sphere theme he has reminds me of Edward Gorey’s love of rocks throughout his house.
I could not be more in love with his home and land. This is so idyllic and inspiring
I was expecting smoke to come from the dragon's nose. what a beautiful home
I was also expecting smoke to come spewing out of the dragon’s nose and all the while wondering why he would want smoke in his house. I was very confused and conflicted as I waited to find out. Lol
Me too 🐲
I did try to do a bypass. Not a good idea to have smoke in the house (the fire alarma goes crazy!)
This is wonderful, his house, his story, and him. Wonderful, thoughtful and beautiful. So much hidden detail. I live in Ontario and this type of house is also what I hope to achieve in the next decade. Thank you
I like this man's Spiritual HOuse!!!
Definitely couldn't build that in Florida, but glad it works for him
I love a guy who can admit to mistakes. This guy is special, for sure!
This is one of the most beautiful, wholesome earth builds/conscious homes that I have seen.
What an impressive Human!
Ezio is a man after my own heart: natural building, wood, crop circles, making stone cairns, making of tinctures and essential oils, Findhorn, meditation, healing and books...I could hardly believe it...
I had a look at the retreat/sanctuary; Eaglenest which is wonderful and in located in a magical forest
I watch a thousand UA-cam videos - you create this masterpiece
Ezio! Auditore! Defirence!
My deepest compliments to the Owner/ Architect of this GORGEOUS COB HOUSE... Sir, you have been the most helpful as to explaining the entire process of this Beautiful Home.. TY
love the concept for his 'truth window'
I think this man is my soulmate
Looking, looking...
This is honestly my perfect home,I really love it
I love his dragon on the fire system, very creative and beautiful. I love his inspirational spirit on living off the land . He’ll make a good teacher for anyone considering this as a future.
a very active mind behind all this attention to detail
I love this house, it has a positive spirit.
Love this! It's like a more refined but still earth friendly earth ship home! Love that water heating system, too!
You are right. Earthships are an important part of my inspiration...
Amazing concept...we Indians are very much used to mud and cob houses since time immemorial...but making it nature efficient is a great step towards worshipping and conserving mother nature...leaving less footsteps n more wisdom for our future generation...
I consider this man a BRILLIANT GENIUS. Thank you for showing around. So many wonderful ideas. 💕💗🌏🌿🙏🏻🌍🌈👍❤️🌸
This man is so genius i want to be his daughter so he can teach me everything he knows. His so talented as we can see he have a lot of books he makes his own perfume too.
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts. Come visit one of these days...
Thank you for sharing your mistakes and things you learned from rather than lying or not sharing. I appreciate it. Good man.
Really love the definitions you threw in there! Super helpful 👌. Thanks for showing us this amazing home
Thanks Alexa, happy you liked it!!
this is like my dream. truly amazing.
Beautiful and brilliantly designed home.
As an artist and a designer, his story is very inspiring on so many levels! Great episode! Thank you.
I am absolutely enchanted!
beautiful
So much of a Living Environment.....
I am a Lover of Cold, Concrete, Steel, things that are 'Untouching', however this is very Nice.....
Incredible man, his house is art.
Not sure what to say to this. Every platitude would fall short, which is what any comment would be from me, at this time. I'm just glad I subscribe to this channel - but what a beautiful home! So well considered, and executed, and probably irreplaceable. I'm glad it will be around a long, long, time.
Who could possibly dislike this video?
Beautiful home
As an architect I love everything he has done. Also he is honest about what worked what didn’t. I would have preferred more open plan.
Thanks! What do you mean by open plan?
Touches like the library are fantastic examples of not needing to confrom to traditional house plans
House of peace... beautiful work
This is how i want to live, my dream library soo good!
My favourite part of the house (together with my lab)...
Very tastefull and artistic house just like the owner.
Great episode. Appreciated the pros _and_ cons presented. What a unique person as well
Glad to see that a cochlear implant (right side) makes life easier for you. The property is fabulous. Thanks for sharing the majesty of your world.
what a wonderful magical place
this house is a magical dream 😍
Oh my gosh, what a masterpiece!!! Everything so well thought out... Such beautiful, artistic design and use of materials. I'm gobsmacked!
This creation is a credit to your wholistic and environmental 'dream come true'..... thank you for sharing your beautiful and dedicated works🥰❤
This guy apparently is multidimensional; with all he does he experiences 29 hour days! For real he is living my life. Definitely goals. Mine will be more cyberpunk themed with some of that spiritual stuff embedded into it too along with some glittery magical things sprinkled in too :)
AMAZING House 🤗
Wow! Amazing!
This is amazing. That AGS system blew my mind. I have no idea how the heat just chills out underground for 5 months and decides to come up in the winter. Good job summer heat I’m proud of you for coming up when it’s cold out of the ground like a beautiful zombie or warm justice.
AGS works in much the same way as Passive Annual Heat Storage. Because earthen mass is a slow 'semi' conductor of thermal energy, we can evoke a desired lag effect. The trick here in the we{s}t coast is to insulate the ground under the house and isolate it from ground water table that rises during our winter mega-rain storms.
Omg the dragon !!! Amazing!
That dragon is the bomb!!
This place is incredible ?? Dreamy !
It's beautiful, functional and amazing. Thanks for sharing this kind of projects
Yes the heating method is ancient …so nice to see it used…thanks for bringing it to light
WOW!!!! What an incredible construction! I love the green roof and con walls 👍👍👍
This house is totally awesome. Thanks Danielle ❤
This is beyond imagination!!
Incredible.
I'm in love 😍
A thank you to this man for sharing his home w us
This is the house i would love to create/ build . ive seen many different houses on this channel but this is def my fav house
This man is awesome and so is his house!
Love everything about this! Solar hot water for electricity or hot water is great, comparable electric output to photovoltaic solar panel, but longer life span and no dangerous minerals needed!
Love these awakened conscious people! 💗
The most beautiful and thoughtful house i have ever come across. Just love it!!! 😍
Great find. So nice of the gentleman to share his home with the world. I wonder what music sounds like in there as it's one large timber speaker box.
this is so neat!
Oh my god, I LOOOVE the dragon on the masonry oven!
This is so beautiful amazing home
Insanely beautiful. You are a fantastic artist
!
What this is, is a dream ❤️
Actually, yes!

Beautiful home...
How beautiful!
Just beautiful
I'd love building these for people!
I have seen many ecological builds and houses but I am so mesmerised by this one and by this man's lifestyle. It is absolutely beautiful, doesn't miss anything and it has such a calming atmosphere.
