Building a Community Building From Sand, Clay, and Straw

Subhub is one of the newer buildings being constructed at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. The building is being built using natural materials like clay, sand, and straw. Like many natural buildings at Dancing Rabbit, it is insulated with strawbales and uses earthen plasters to protect the bale walls from the elements. It’s intended to be a community building with shared resources and infrastructure so that people in the ecovillage don’t have to build all their systems in their own houses. In this video, Liz, the builder takes us through the construction site and explains the different building methods, the design elements, and the systems she has planned for this shared resource.
