Welcome to: ![]() Tire construction, circa: 1935
The tire-house (generic "Earthship") is a very practical method of building a bermed, passive-solar residence, using mostly renewable and free building materials that draws little from the Earth's energy resources (that haven't already been drawn). They are easy and pleasant to live in, though quite a bit different than normal houses. They are also low maintenance and cost effective to construct.
