Insulated Concrete construction, with timber framing using trees cleared from the property, this house will never need to be rebuilt. The energy efficiency is legendary.Property Description
Monolithic dome construction is quickly becoming the green building of choice, totally disaster proof and totally energy efficient due to the insulated thermal mass and ancient building techniques which will last many centuries. Heat is Radiant tubing in the concrete slab; large picture windows create passive solar heating on the south side, 2 modern high-efficiency woodstoves (only need one). Modern custom kitchen and rough cut timber framing make it high tech but rustic luxury. The walls are rated R-60, and no air conditioning has ever been necessary.
