Earthbag Second Floor

A two car garage shop storage area and optional laundry are on the first floor.

Earthbag second floor.

There are seven of us and we want to make it small but comfortable for all of us. The native spirit house plan blends a hexagonal dwelling with a soaring tower all built of earthbags. We would want the kitchen to be in the center maybe with a staircase to help support the second floor. It can be all of those things.

Simply insert the bottomless bucket in the earthbag grabbing the top of the bag and the top of the bucket simultaneously. The first floor of the tower serves as a cool pantry that keeps food cool without electricity. This 30 second video demonstrates the use of a bucket chute funnel for filling the earthbags. When you talk about building an earthbag house many people automatically go toward the cob house design.
