Not sure if it was from the last time this was posted but there’s a decent YouTube video about this place.[1]

Almost all the videos on this channel are fascinating btw. Greenhouses enveloping entire houses/villages[0][1] in northern Europe to earthships[2] to someone growing citrus in Nebraska using trenches[3] to entire villages underground in Australia[4]

I'd also recommend the channels FLORB and Happen Films though they're admittedly a little corny.

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't recently did a tour of an interesting alt home as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YyWspKzbAw

Thank you for sharing!

Just having went through a few episodes of violent thunderstorms with hail this month, I cannot help but wonder how resistant those glasshouses are?

If these kinds of videos appeal to you (as they do, me), then you would also like the "Mossy Earth" and "Project Kamp" channels, which document various re-wilding and forest management/alternative housing projects going on in various regions.

Very inspiring to be honest, I find myself looking for tiny home project ideas at least twice a month, alongside the perpetual scouting for cheap land in my neighborhood.

I'd absolutely love to have the opportunity to participate in the construction of underground gardens, if only there were more projects like that out there. It fills all the Uncle Owen / Mos Eisley dreams I've had since 1977. ;)

Anything to escape the concrete jungle rat-on-a-treadmill situation that most of us are in. At least I gave up the car trap .. no more commutes for me ..
