Standardized Earthbag Detail Drawings for Nepal
This is an invitation to all Nepali architects and engineers to help create standardized detail drawings to optimize and expedite earthbag building. The goal is to create open source detail drawings for foundations, buttresses, typical wall sections and elevations, recommended reinforcement methods, windows, doors, etc. This would greatly speed the acceptance of earthbag building in Nepal (and probably other countries).
EARTHBAG PUNISH: Main House & Master Suite – Phase III
This is one of the largest earthbag projects in the world: “This video shows us building our main house (14m2 x 14m2, approximately 1700 sq. ft) and our master suite which is comprised of 4 domes each about 5m2; a bedroom, bathroom, walk-in closet and private sitting room.
Round Earthbag Village Library
Here is the round earthbag village library I have almost completed. I have seen your inspiring works with earthbags and am happy to inform you that I am also into green building here in Kenya. I have done a demo house using earthbags and will be going for the next level of building as eco friendly training school using this method. We would want to include off grid power eventually but that is for the future.

Advantages Galore to Earthbag Building
I’ve had the pleasure to meet and train several hundred builders, architects and engineers in earthbag building techniques in Nepal. Even though I’ve been researching, working with and promoting earthbag building heavily since the Asian 2004 tsunami, it still amazes me how practical and efficient it is to build with earthbags. Here’s just a brief list of advantages that many people are not aware of.
