An earthship is a building that's built out of recycled materials (glass bottles, old tires, cans, etc..) and mostly Cob walls with solarpanels, wind turbines, greenhouses, and large water capture system to ensure all you need within the walls. All these components help regulate the temp for both plants and you creating a proper oasis from all of itnall

Here's a good dissection of one to give you an idea

The most famous one, and one of the first ones ever made back in the 1970s by a small off grid group working together is The Phoenix which was built as the model for how cool these guys could be its now a place you can take tours or rent-

But now there is so many different styles and cool ideas for it! Now some of these are merely concepts

But you can adapt them to any weather for your particular light/weather/energy conditions.

Solarpunk Sanctuary 🌿🏛️

Imagine waking up in a home that breathes with you. This space is the ultimate intersection of organic living and architectural precision. The way the morning light hits those polished stone floors, reflecting the greenery and the sky-high timber frames, is pure serotonin. It’s giving "Earthship but make it luxury" vibes. In a world of concrete jungles, there’s something so healing about a sanctuary built to honor the sun and the soil. This is the sustainable dream—quiet, grounded, and drenched in natural light. ✨🏜️🌱

Solarpunk Communities

Aardehuizen in The Netherlands is a beautiful example of what modern living can look like. With 23 houses the village is home to around 70 people, mostly families.

The houses are built according to the Earthship principle partly from sourced waste (tires, bottles and cans). They provide 75% of the people's electricity and 100% of their heating needs and collect and conserve rainwater as well as wastewater for drinking and washing.

There is so much intelligence in these houses, which are surrounded by beautiful permaculture gardens, that they are sure to have a positive impact on the lucky people who live there. A positive impact on the world is ensured on top anyways.
