Warsaw Dome Project in Poland
from www.earthhandsandhouses.org

This project was built as a demonstration of inexpensive, sustainable building techniques that others might employ. This is one of many such projects initiated by the Earth, Hands, and Houses organization founded by Paulina Wojciechowska, author of Building with Earth: A Guide to Flexible-Form Earthbag Construction.

Looking down from the nearly completed dome


Barbed wire between the bags helps to fix the structure


Bags are rammed into position


The polypropylene bags need UV protection



The polypropylene bags were filled with sand that had the consistency of beach sand and were not stabilised with anything...just dampened with water and well tamped.


Because of the damp climate, it is covered with a shingled roof.



Jarema and the Hobbit House. The chimney will be finished soon.
