Earthships Community Planned for Brighton, England
Filed under: Estates
We seen plenty of new developments but this may be
the first one that promises no utility bills. The first European Earthships development is being planned for
Brighton, England. What's an Earthship? It's a home that is made made using recycled materials including tires. The
homes heat and cool themselves, provide their own wind and solar power and have a cistern to harvest rainwater for
house use. The homes are expected to cost £250,000 and £350,000 ($436,000 to $610,000 approximately). and
some will be allocated as affordable housing. The development is called The Lizard and the developer says there is
already a lot of interest. There is already an Earthship community in Taos, New
Mexico where the earth-friendly houses are for rent and for sale. [via Newbuilder]
