HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is regenerative world building through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

• • • • • • Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
          • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team inventoried all the pieces for the Murphy bed portion of the custom furniture designs for the earthbag village domes and dome home crowdfunding campaign. This is taking the amazing work of Philip Gill (Interior and Furniture Designer and Owner of Philip Gill Design) and preparing it all for the creation of complete do-it-yourself building and assembly instructions:

We also created 3 different layouts for the crowdfunding campaign wet dome that includes a toilet, shower, stove, combo washer/dryer, refrigerator, and eating area. These domes will fit on a 150 sq foot footprint so that they can be built in many counties without a permit. We will also be providing a permitted version as part of our open source and crowdfunding campaign goals.

This last week the core team completed another 30 seconds of the Duplicable City Center 3-D video showing over 2 years of design work for this building happening in 3-D. Here is the most recent video showing more of the evolution of this structure over the past couple years:

We also put our diesel generator Macro to work evolving the generator details as you can see here. This image shows different generator efficiencies in the form of daily and annual fuel costs compared to different solar production estimates. The image at the top starts with all the areas proportionally representing their power needs. Below that are these needs divided into water heating applications and all other electrical uses.
