Have you ever wanted to live in a home
where you still felt like you were connected to nature and things were
simple and pretty well off-grid? One man has done this in Thailand and
it only cost him $9000 to do it.
Steve Areen was offered some land on his
friends mango farm to build his dream home. To Steve, it was a home
that was simple, inviting, nature oriented and sustainable. As you can
see in the images below, Steve adopted a dome like design that has a
number of benefits. He was able to put up this home in only 6 weeks from
start to finish using cement blocks and clay bricks. While he likes the
design, next time Steve intends to build the home using Earthen bricks.
It’s important to note that he was able to achieve this for only $9000
because of Thailand’s cheap cost of living. He was able to put up the
main structure for only $6000 and then spent $3000 filling it with
goodies.
Steve isn’t the only one looking to
build these sustainable and unique homes. It seems people all over the
world are desiring off-grid and sustainable homes that are more in touch
with nature. Is it perhaps that people are growing tired of the cookie
cutter homes that are packed into neighbourhoods? Or are people craving
more nature? Or maybe people simply want to get off the grid as they
grow tired of the overpriced cost of living and governmental reliance
being on the grid comes with. Whatever the case, it is clear the future
of our world is off-grid sustainable living. It’s just a matter of when.
With designs like Earthship’s and technologies like free energy, there is no reason why any of us need to be living on the grid and paying for utilities today.
