- Rati Mambo investigates how to build an Earthbag Dome. Sustainable Building experts Nicholas Jouin and Minna Seppala from Permastructure are building a sauna in their backyard in Heidelberg, Melbourne. They have a bunch of Earthbaggers helping them.
An Earthbag Dome is a monolithic structure that can last for thousands of years with minor maintenance.
Filmed and edited by Director and Camera Operator, Andrew McDonald from Documentary Shop.

Bravo MacDonald.
Ohhh I'm even in love with the guy😍, he's personality the way he talks.🤗 I'm must say they all did a very good job. I'm willing to try it out with my family. I'm hundred percent they will love it. Keep on posting so we can learn more. Sending love from south Africa 🇿🇦❤♥💕
I saw a documentary once of a small African village that used this very technique to build they're homes. good to see it's made it's way to America.
Awesome! Pretty complete steps in there too!
You are all very inspiring. This is a beautiful building and a great video.
Thanks for sharing.
A house that doesn't cost you the rest of your life? How's the .01% supposed to afford their lavish lifestyles then? Where's the kindness?
Thanks to our politicians and friends from CHINA? The soft takoever has been very successful despite what the locals advocate for their own destructon? The fact is even if you put a tent on a piece of land youll be working all your life to pay off. A block and house is $600-700k in melbourne is a crappy suberb. They have totally ruined locals chances of living in their own countrys thanks to greed and the support of removing Europeans out of existence? Literally. Ive seen a loss of my people over 30 years. Literally they are gone in most suberbs? in Austrlia. Plus the interbreeding. Thanks to liberal programming. Such a sad state of affairs. Sold out. The people are too primal and basic to realise what was the reason which preserved their culture to getting to this stage.
We've been finding the 1% way to long. They still get our taxes.
@@stevygee605 I don’t understand how some people of European ancestry are so overwhelming concerned about a fictional European cultural genocide when that’s exactly what Europeans have been doing around the world to others. It must be some kind of guilt paranoia that others will do what Europeans have long done to them? But I think others may be more enlightened to cause such destruction. If you are in Australia, please remember that IS NOT Europe and you should respect the original people of the land as the ultimate caretakers. To prioritize yourself in someone else’s country is self centered and ethnocentric.
It would be nice to see after building a dome house body transformation 😂😂😂😂😂😂 great job btw
Good job guys 👏👏
nature has its way to nurture and to shelter!
At the end of the video there was a shot of a metal shed in the back ground, damn good looking metal shed (:
Great video... very cool. People helping People. Peace
Amazing!!!! It's beautiful and inspiring.
I aspire to more than this in a dwelling.
It's a sauna
I will be building one of these to practice yoga, prayer flag making and moon cup changing.
Huh. Its almost like flexible legos!
7 years later, can we get an update on how this structure is working out as a sauna? I would be interested in its long-term reaction to heat and steam on the inside, how the interior holds up, if any mildew formed, problems, etc. Its a nice size and shape for a sauna, but heating up the upper reaches of the dome might take a long time. Saunas typically have low ceilings so the heat stays down where the bodies are.
yeah , i love earth people , nice documentair , in few months i also go living of grid :)
Will do thank you 👍
Wow ! Great tutorial ! Blonde girl looks like Gwyneth Paltrow !
It would have been nice to get a bird's eye view of the roof once the last bag had been lain.
I can see a musician playing some tunes with the echoes going on. Natural reverb.
I never would have thought a dome roof would work with earth bag construction. I guess I was wrong.
great video!! Can an earth bag wall/dome be used to withstand lateral loads as in a basement or retaining wall?
Nice job.
Strange there wasn't a shout out to Nader Khalili for having come up with this super adobe dome technique.
Neat, couldnt get me to build it without some rebar though. Trust and all that is great, but.. peace of mind is better for me. But what am I saying.. a little dome thingy.. wouldnt be worth it at all to me. HOUSE, then we are talking.
Esp a meditation/sauna room. What a waste of time & space. Keep the hippies busy.
Beautiful! How did you make the hole for the pipe to heater?
Thanks
Has anyone tried pumping aircrete into these bags?it seems like it may be faster and possibly as strong.
I thought about sraying the outside with air create and spreading it
What was the reason for doing that test with the jars? If it was to test the strength shouldn't that be done before construction began?
NIce work! Where did this take place ? Who is the guy teaching it ?
Funny how they try to make this out to be such a complex process to discourage people. You can do this very simply without all this mess.
I like you guys and I like your video
Brilliant where do you get the roll of bags please
Hi Gail, Try these guys and let us know how you got on.

@@andrewhealthybox TY so much. Going to build a mini version of this for feral cats in the neighborhood
Do you put a barbed wire between every bag or only at half way?
@@pamjensen4194 every layer
Is that black cotton soil, how do you do the mix to achieve stability of the soil?
It looks fabulous, but I don't know if I could stand that high up and tamp. Eeeek!
Building a meditation/sauna room you say. Won't the cob/plaster fall off the walls with all that steam/heat and moisture?
I'm sure the finish they used inside is used to combat the moisture.. I'm not sure how they'd do it any other way
I wonder if it would be worth it to add roman concrete to the mix so over time it gets stronger and stronger/
never heard of that, now I have to look it up
Are there still workshops running for this in Melbourne?
Hey guys! Great video and I am inspired to do my own retaining wall and veggie patch hybrid. Can you PLEASE let me know where you purchase the long uncut UV treated polypropylene rolls from? I can only find the pre cut bags. Located in Melbourne.
Also you can buy them from cal-tech. Superadobe structures.
Check out Tinyshinyhomes.
fabulous building +technique... wish i cld hv a home like this in india
If you had a heard of cows they would mix the Cobb for you. Put materials in one end Cobb comes out the other end.
what happens with this mud plaster when rain starts falling?
the mixture. 10 to 1 . I know 10 is the dirt but it is the 1 water?
where did you get the earthbags
how much did it cost to build ?
Random Joy I've heard of people building bigger than this for $10/square foot this roundhouse with out cost of labor and permits probably cost $3000 to build or less
Is there any alternate to straw if it's not available?
@Kerrie Daly thanks a lot . You are very helpful
how many year we can stay this house? I means How many using age this house ?
I been wanting one. Would this work in Iowa? O.o
Yes it would work in Iowa
The individual that stated in Africa that the whole village comes together to build a young couple a home, wanted to note that the Christian church's used to do the same... Time to bring back the community churches being involved. The Amish still do this, think the other churches should do the same.
Lafe Denton And you wonder why their own people sold them as slaves back in the day, it wasn't just because of money. LoL
@@thelucondrix391 yes NAVY people are welfare slaves
Woop wooPp
What if no barb wire?
How is soil with CEMENT eco friendly?
I live in Florida .. How can I contact the company?
what country is that one?
Its in Melbourne in Australia
Is this cheaper than a tiny house?
I need a help in.Colombia
I have rubber mallets not tapered tools
are you from California í life here help me flor More información
Y’all are shady for zooming into his butchered haircut at 14:40
Lots of space for these buildings and land is cheap in Cloud Cuckoo Land where they are living. Old technology my .......! Cement and Plastics, Barbed wire!! Whatever happend to wattle and daub??
It's a fail!
I don't know how long will that plastic bag last before it decinagrates and the dirt falls out you should have used Adobe brick would have been way cheaper and last forever and way better for the environment and it would have looked better to it just seems rediculas to use bags with dirt hopefully you won't have any gophers or desert rats or ground squirrels good luck hope you did your homework
is no one really gonna mention dudes weird hair? what is going on with it lol
One question, why do these people all sound the same? I'm going to do this myself but I don't speak like a wanker.
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR? JUST ASKING, OLD ONE LEGGED JOSEPH T. RETIRED NAVY
I would like to say something good about this project, it's over, Good!!. What a waste of time, too much labor, too much time and the end product looks like it might make a poor dog house. I have worked in construction for almost 40 years and believe me this sucks. Well at least there are 15 people in here with some taste (:
Sucks less than the cookie cutter boxes for million dollars that you have to pay 30 years to your bank. Amen
BAD VIDEO...NOT SEE DETAILS
9:00 Dude is either racist/sexist or extremely shy, he keep looking at maybe one of the film crew to talk avoiding the woman's eyes. I traveled with a French couple on my bicycle tour in Latin America and she could speak Spanish perfectly and her husband and me could barley speak at all but mean kept turning their back on here and talking to us, it was pretty funny.
