“Jason and Alayne discovered this great foundation that was built with a wise eye towards passive solar design and insulative walls. They are now building a home incorporating other smart features such as cordwood walls and a living roof which will have rainwater pumped with a solar pump up to it, irrigating the roof and keeping the house cool.”

Note his innovative cordwood mix, and the radiant floor heat and green roof (nice family too).
He certainly has some interesting ideas. I like the isolation or, at the least the appearance of it. Love the woods!
I never tire of looking at cordwood and stone. That’s why I think it’s a good idea to include some of these materials into a home when practical.
