Home Together

Have you read about this man's mission to build the 'Earthship,' Victoria's first radically recycled home?

Daryl Taylor's story shows just what you can achieve when you build your own house and take control as project manager. There's more room for inventive sustainable materials and house features that are well outside the box!

What would you build if you had no limits?

'Earthship' rises from the ashes of Black Saturday Made of beer cans, glass, old tyres and mudbrick, Victoria's first radically sustainable Earthship is built to withstand a raging bushfire.

I had a lovely chat with Emma about building her studio come teenagers retreat in the rear of a property.

My first bit of advice to everyone: speak to the council building department first. Try to get everything in writing. If you find a property that you would like to extend but don't think it quite fits, speak to the council, sometimes there are dispensations, there are no silly questions.

Have a safe long weekend,
