Underground dome house of the family who led geese to fly home

- Paula and Bill Lishman spent many winters in a poorly-insulated A-frame cabin before realizing they needed to go underground to use the earth’s energy to stay warm, so they knocked the top off a hill, dropped in ferro-cement domes, and covered it up again with dirt.
Thanks to skylights cut into every dome and the white-powdered marble that covers the interior, their earth-sheltered home is naturally well-lit despite being below the frost line.
Fifteen feet below ground, the soil temperature remains about equal to the annual average temperature of the area’s surface air so earth-sheltered homes use sod’s constant temperature to stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Bill Lishman believed in rethinking not just the conventional home, but also how we live. He reimagined his home’s refrigerator by building a round appliance that pops up out of the countertop so the heavier cool air stays inside when opened (via compressed air).
In 1986, Bill Lishman began training Canada Geese to follow his ultralight aircraft and to "teach" the birds migration routes to avoid a threatened extinction. His work on "Operation Migration" brought him popular recognition with the 1996 movie Fly Away Home starring Jeff Daniels.
Paula Lishman also believes in rethinking convention. In 1979 she began her fashion label reinventing the fur trade by using spun fur to knit her clothing.

This lady would make an excellent teacher, I will probably never forget that this house is Earth integrated and below the frost line, at 12-14 inches
Omg me too
Well, she left the photographer to fend for herself as she was carrying the camera and door slams in her face, so inconsiderate!
I literally came to make a comment about how many times I've heard 'earth integrated', and I find your comment.
lol
Well done.
Remember that frost line is dipper in places closer to the poles, so some variations might be needed depending on your geographic location.
the school system is bad, Robert Kiyosaki
Just in case anyone was confused, its earth integrated
hold on a second, so you're telling me dis thing is integrated into the earth?
Like, someone had removed the top of a hill, built a house into it and put stuff back on it?
Earth what?
@@MrDonkrypton yup
her a million times: earth-integrated
the title: underground home
Gets told that it is earth-integrated 10 times,
names the title of the video " underground dome house "
I didn't notice that irony!
That's obviously due to the fact the average layperson hasn't a clue what an earth-integrated home is. But underground type home is something anyone can conceive in thought and registers in mind by which then curiosity of how exactly that would be brings in the viewer traffic
The reporter was annoyed by how many times she repeated that
i 新 no one would have found the video if the title had said earth integrated
Love your humor. I almost spit my water out reading your comment.
That is the coolest fridge I’ve ever seen in my life.
Woah 😲 lol, that is super cool!
Xbox: let us show you something
i know its nice, she's so sweet bless her
I could recognize the all natural maple syrup bottle a mile away 😂
Never saw BTTF2?
I already thought this was the coolest house in the world and then... she opens the refrigerator!!!
Amazing.
Exactly my thought.
Right?!
The fridge! Too focused, but oh my dawg! The fridge!
That fridge 😲
8:00.
The top reminds me like the teletubies kids show
Lidwiska Díaz ew
@@suides4810 why eww?. Its not a type of food!!
This house was famous before teletubies were imagined.
@@SimonHomeintheEarth oh well awesome but im nnot that old then and i just remember i use to watch teletubies. But i did watch the movie she mention too i watch some time too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it soo does
So, let me get this straight... it's fire proof, almost sound proof, infiltration proof, keeps pretty much the same temperature all year, it's way stronger and you don't need to worry about painting the outside while you are contributing with nature. Why aren't we all living in houses like that again?
Exactly. 😊 Unfortunately, I think the answer is... people follow programing; which is to work a 9-5 job in order to buy a box house that used a lot of resources to build: resources that support a lot of different polluting industries. And, so the programming continues. 😕😣😧
And it's got vents for fresh air circulation.
Maybe because it's a fortune to build and few people have the know how to do it. A dome is not as space efficient as a cube. Footprint is large, so also expensive. Modern architecture often uses a roof as a garden, but it's still not affoardable.
A couple of reasons. First, they built it themselves. To get a construction company to do something like this would be enormously expensive. 2nd, it doesn't fit modern codes. Trying to get a government to agree with something like this would be almost impossible. People who try things outside the "norm" have a huge disadvantage. One of the biggest problems is that the .gov wants engineers to sign off on anything that doesn't fit current code (massive expense) and insurance companies won't insure it.
Why aren't we building like this today? There are two answers to that - a short one and a long one! Short one is "we used to" but the long one is too complex for this space so I'm currently writing a book about! To elaborate even a short answer: a couple of centuries ago, when we were in principle building same way as we are today still, a common man, a farmer or a tradesman, typically without much education to speak of but armored with knowledge and wisdom inherited from forebears KNEW BETTER than we are today, took advantage of cardinal orientation, local materials, natural principles and wasted nothing!
Today we are placing houses parallel to adjacent roads (which some senseless art-college graduate slash county council planning department employee scribbled on "general" plan at first place), building clusters of completely pointless, short-lived sleeping quarters while ruthlessly ignoring Solar gain via Cardinal alignment to South, natural light, Summer and Winter Arc, heat loss, Solar shading etc. but also the importance of Organic Social Environment, Working Full Loop Infrastructure, Circular Economy etc. etc. the sum of which can be only described as >>Total Ignorance of Nature, Environment, Social Structure, Future of this Planet and ALL of its inhabitants" derived by our long cultivated arrogance as a "rulers of the world and nature" that we have acquired though our schooling since second half of 19th century!
What has to happen' is the entire Paradigm Shift from "ruling race" attempting to control and govern Nature and to become "Conscientious Custodians" of that incredible Space Ship of ours called Planet Earth with all its inhabitants and organic structures, to grow out of our infancy as human race and start behaving and acting AT LEAST as adolescents with potential to grow up and reach certain meaningful maturity one day!
So far - standing by!
This house is like the The Flinstone meets The Jetsons 😍 her husband had a brilliant mind.
Can we just talk about the fridge and how after all these years and after her husband has been gone all this time the fridge is still in perfect working condition? Someone needs to bring that fridge to market. What an interesting and inspiring woman she is. What it would have been like to grow up with a mother like her. Simply Amazing! Thank you for sharing her story.
You could mod a small chest freezer into something similar. Ofc those are square. But the tub principle giving the best efficiency would be the same. You can run many chest freezers at regular fridge temps to.
How would you make it come up on the counter, that's what I can't figure out.
This lady has the world's most interesting house, most interesting fridge, AND most interesting hair-do.
Yes, that hairdo was indeed "interesting".
And the most insufferable voice. I’ve never wanted to punch an old lady until now.
The mold in her fridge kid is so gross. And probably dangerous.
And the heaviest breathing
And most the earth integrated
This would be the perfect house for people who live in tornado alley
I was thinking the same thing; but I think people will not receive permit to build and I wonder what would happen in case of a flood. Does it become an aquarium and everyone drowns? Otherwise I do think that if it's just wind, the house is safe.
@@virginiejorion4906 theres a way to build drains under the homes, they have them built into basements in places that flood to help keep it dry
Right!
tornados are especially around flat plains of land (at least here in Oklahoma!) idk if you could build this without a hill or large dome of land?
Bramwell Price we can’t even build basements in houses because of the flood line rip
Am I the only one who loves that interior door? It's so beautiful!
Same here! Every single piece of that house is beautiful.
Aww, hearing that he died really upset me. Such a creative man. Sad to hear.
“Don’t cry because it’s over... smile because it happened.” -don’t remember hehe
Yes. I got a twinge. We all like to think "happily every after," but the best we can hope for is some "happily."
It's almost so perfect, I just wish it was earth integrated.
I’m not sure if it is earth integrated... it’s not clear in the documentary 😆😂
She says it's just that in the first minute idiot
*it is*
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too bad it's just underground
Imagine a whole neighborhood of houses like this, it could be like a nature park
And you wouldn't have to worry about anyone burglarizing your home either, he couldn't find the front door or a window to go through. :)
imagine entire cities like this!
Its called Hobbiton in the Shire... 😉🧙♂️🇬🇧😎
JRRT ... Long ago and far away.
@@tarialorehand h
The design of this house makes me think of the Lars Farm where Luke grew up in Star Wars. I love it.
I thought the same thing! And the kitchen looks exactly like the bar area from the Mos Eisley cantina.
..I wanna shed some tears because of how wonderful this architecture are.. I do think of Star Wars first when I saw it. The hobbit also the close seconds.
Fridgerator is the show stealer for me. Absolutley brilliant!
Ikr. Me to
Remind me of Back to the Future 2. LOL
I know it is amazing
I wonder how much it would cost to make
I was thinking the top comment has to be about this Fridge, that is so neat and blew my mind more so than everything else (which in of itself was neat).
Wow, She said a thousand times that this is not underground but Earth Integrated yet You titled the video "underground". I bet She isn't happy with You
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣......FAKE NEWS?? Someone does not listen!!🙋🏻♀️
@@chrissiecarr5721 No if she called it that no one could find the video as no one will type that term in searches (here or on google) so the vid will get less views. You have to use titles with searchable words.
Jo Pearson ..thanks, you just taught me something new 👩🎓😉🙋🏻♀️🕊
Haha
@@joan-lisa-smith It's best to actually use multiple terms. When You upload to CZcams You can add tags relating to likely search terms that your targeted audience would type in & these tags make Your video appear automatically in multiple searches on Google & CZcams yet the tags themselves are invisible to Your audience but powerful in their reach.
For this particular video You'd add "Earth Integrated Home" "Underground Home" "Earth Ship" "Earthbag Home" "Green Living" "Eco Friendly Living" "Off Grid Living" "Homestead" even though it's very few of these things. The Public won't see these words on Your video but whenever someone Googles any one of these topics Your video will come up in their Google & CZcams searches because You added the tags when editing Your uploads to improve Your analytics.
Like for Mine I'll add "Travelers Notebook" "Ephemera" along with a million other Journal & vintage related Names even if it's a full size Journal that I've created.
For this video I'd literally have added both Names in the title as well as in the tags but that's Me. It covers more bases.
The Lishman family is filled to the brim with love, openness and great creative spirit. I have had the unique pleasure of celebrating life, dining, laughing, dancing, sleeping and even performing in this magical space. Bill and Paula were both such brilliant visionaries who gave the world 3 beautiful children who continue to carry their individual spark of genius into the world. I will be forever grateful for their love and support when we met back in 1999. I live in BC now and miss connecting more often with the whole family in this beautiful sacred space.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bill Lishman before he passed. He toured me around this amazing home and into his metal workshop too. His sculptures are as amazing as his home. He was absolutely infectious, full of energy and ideas. Truly one of the most creative, innovative and tenacious people I have ever met. If you can dream it, you can do it. There was no sense of limitation or negative thinking. He was all about solutions!
Imagine spending your childhood in a place like that... It must be pure magic.
I grew up fancying myself as this kind of "different" and got bullied to hell and back, I admire this but I'd also wanna give my kids a normal childhood and be able to relate to others homes in their teens.
@@likira111 You got bullied to hell and back for having a "different" home?.. Wow that's horrible. I'm sorry to hear that. :( I don't understand it at all, wouldn't other kids love this kind of place and want to hang out there too? It doesn't make sense to me, but of course I'm an adult and god knows what is going on in kids' heads... Children can be incredibly cruel for sure.
@@valeriavagapova Adults are worse than children any day of the week.
I went to school with one of their kids. She's doing just fine, last I checked.
Where did you read she got bullied for having a different home?? She said just being different not because of a different home.
the fridge looks straight out of star wars, I like it
The house looks like the Skywalker home too.
"straight out of star wars (...)"
First thought was: 'blue milk'...
They took the model from back to the future 2
It needs R2D2 on top.
It makes me regret buying a convenient refrigerator...
As a construction superintendent for a home building company, Often you guys feature homes that seem cool but are truly a little suspect when it comes to design and utility and make little sense as a place to live. BUT THIS HOUSE is a REAL winner! Maybe the coolest home I’ve ever seen. Bravo to this family!
Bravo a usted por aceptarlo.
I felt like Tinky Winky was gonna pop round the corner at any moment 😂😂
Take a shot every time she says integrated
Nah, I like life.
*Ethanol poisoning* 😭

this is, forgive my pun, one of the coolest houses I've ever seen!
I think this house’s architecture deserves some sort of award or recognition for several reasons. Construction, innovation, creativity, who knows how many other; then again what do I know. I think it’s amazing.
Why does politics have to come into every liberals conversation. Annoying that she can't accept a developer but can admire an architect. Both made lots of money.
There are a few houses built like this, and they are too on this site.
They do not DESERVE anything. Early humans lived inside caves, so what it the difference ? Inca civilization
, if any, deserve architectural award.
@@aldinapiscatelli8989 Maybe because developers need political restrictions to avoid bad city planning and environmental pollution?
It's amazing to me that the concept is so simplistic yet unusual.
Follow the money. The energy companies would lose out if most all homes were built like this.
She was married to a genius men....and she herself is very smart person. I great idea to build a house like this.

That fridge design was in the movie!
@@hikhuhvhh7883 Fly away home. This movie made me obsessed with geese and ultralight aviation when I was a kid. I'm 30 now and it hasn't stopped, so be careful.

Waiting for LG to steal the design
Imagine if everyone lives like this, and you could just walk wherever you want, and explore an unpaved, wild world.
tell me about it. I thought I was the only one who looked at the world that way. Plant fruit trees everywhere.
I know right? It would be such an awesome way to let the Earth regenerate. Plus it is so energy efficient. It would be awesome where I live in Quebec to get below the freeezing ground and live under the snow for 6 months a year.

Still amazing watching again after 3yrs

Everyone watching: "IT HAS THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF DIRT ON IT."
LOL ya first thing I thought too. I'm glad these people brought us this video so we could see this awesome home... at the same time they sure did ask some stupid questions.
Yea all her questions are kind stupid and pointless, like she didnt have any questions prepared or shes just shit at her job
She did us a beautiful service in giving us this video, so we, in turn, can give grace.

Plus her $500 pounds.
That is the "coolest" refrigerator. No pun intended.
Yeah until it needs to be repaired in the zombie apocalypse or long term civil unrest.
They should've went further and designed the kitchen with the shelving and countertops already carved into and from the walls and floors. That would've given the kitchen an even more cavernous feel to it.
I want one !
Anthony Davis If you see the movie "Fly Away Home" (Which was partially based on Bill Lishman's experiences flying with geese) they have that refrigerator in it
Now that fridge is cool. It's rare that you see something you've never seen before. Nice!!!
When the countertop came up and she twisted it around 🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 this whole video has been a gift 🎁..
This is what happens when two brilliant and creative people come together. What an amazing life they created for themselves and their children. I don't know what it was, but I almost teared up when I saw his sculpture of himself. He was such a creative genius, that it's sad to think that he's gone now.
RamblinAround I totally agree .. this is all the product of TWO creative people working together : )
👍
Honestly when she said "...when we realized we weren't going to travel the winter that he died..." I lost it. I mean I know that's just how life goes but I hate it hahaha.
Her husband is Bill Lishman, is an inventor, artist, engineer, flew planes, build his own he passed away in 2018 after being diagnosed with leukemia..but a very intelligent,artist,sculpture, writer..his creative mind has no limits, research him there is much of him the world should know a very great person.
"Absolutely love the concept of using natural materials in dome homes! 🌿 It's amazing how these structures blend seamlessly with the environment while offering sustainability and energy efficiency. Count me in for a greener future! 💚
This place looks like a magical oasis of tranquility! 🌟 A dome home not only captivates with its appearance but also provides a sense of security and comfort. I'm enchanted by the harmony and positive vibes emanating from every corner of this beautiful place! 💖✨ #DomeLiving #SafetyFirst #PositiveVibes"
"We call it "earth integrated" because it's integrated into the earth." That really clears up the important distinction between dome houses with dirt piled on top vs. box-shaped houses with dirt piled on top.
Exactly. Folks don't need to nit-pick. I would love to build a home like this!
LMAO XD
This is how I imagine the people living in the future. Renewable energy, integrated in the earth, nice, clean and healthy earth surface and life everywhere.
In the future people will live in pods and packed into eco-friendly mega cities. But close.

Love this . My deceased mother architect would have too ! I love how bright it is !

I thought I heard the owner say she designed it.
@@randidryden4355 big difference from design and ability to build something.
@@TurboHommy certainly there are differences. Some people can design or engineer, but do not do the building. Some build someone else's design, but man alone, like God, can conceive an idea for something that never before existed and bring it into existence whether by himself or with the aid of another. We are very different from the animals in that way. We are creative and creators just like our Maker.
Her husband and two sons built it. She mentions it several times.
@@TurboHommy can’t build something without a design. Goes for buildings, programs, sewing, etc.
for a strange and blessed circumstance of destiny many years ago ( aprox. 40 years ago ) I happen to be friend of this Lady Mrs, Paula Lishman , her husband and Parents , I visited them on their Purple hill hut in Ontario , and I can say these are very fine , educated people , some of the best humans I ever met .

Are there problems with mold? I would loved one, and I found a company but I'm worried about the unnatural lining they say they have to use and they only gaurantee mold free for 10 years.

@@Heavywall70 whats a hobbit home
@@Xplosiv3s "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats--the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill--The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it--and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the lefthand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deep-set round windows looking over his garden and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river."

Title: Underground dome house
Homeowner: Actually, it's Earth-integrated because it's integrated into the Earth.
Title: Nahhh, it's Underground.
1:00 terminology defined
4:43 a terminology scuffle
Nahh..it's a "dome"
@Respectable Man who cares? words are just words.
@Respectable Man this whole thing is a shame...its useless
@Respectable Man The example you came up with has nothing to do with what I said. You have to understand the context first before you can respond to it. The exact quote at 1:00 from the woman was "we call it earth-integrated rather than underground because underground connotes dark and no light." She isn't telling you to call it earth-integrated she is just saying she and her family calls it earth-integrated. When I think of an underground house I think of an underground bunker, shipping container home fully underground, or something else along those lines. I don't think of a house that is partially underground at 14 inches and a layer of soil above it. Language was meant to communicate something as accurately and as concisely as possible. Phones, tablets, and laptops are all technically computers but we call them different names so we don't have as much of a chance to miss communicate. She calls her house earth-integrated so people - and that includes contractors - don't immediately think her house is fully underground.
My house is underground too.. I live in a basement in NYC 😂
Jesus Belandria
Basement isn’t the problem. The city you live in is. Get out of that liberal infested rat hole.
Jeff it was really obligated to put a political agenda on here lmao
Jeff do we really have to bring politics into this? I'm okay with politics jokes but this has nothing to do with politics :/
The most important consideration is: Is it earth-integrated?
Synthia McBride well there’s grass growing on the stairs and weeds to the sides of the building, also the structure is looking moldy, I would say give it 10 years so it can fully integrate 😂
I would love to have something similar when I am older. This is beautiful!
Im so sorry for the loss of Bill to the family. 💜💜💜
When I die don’t you dare put me in a box and shove me underground I shall be earth integrated.

1.3 million and the perfect piece of sea-side land is all yours!
That fridge! Holy guac! They are living my DREAM. It’s got bit of Dr. Seuss feel to it. To rhyme at end is all you overlooked, it would SEEM.
As if the whole thing couldn't be any cooler, you find out she is the "beaver weaver" Love it all!!! Omg wish I could hang out with her!🤣
You are so creative! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!
I love the idea of 'this is the room where we hide the square things'.
We Canadians are very proud of Bill Lishman. He was known, admired and loved by many.
I saw the special on Bill Lishman and loved him for what he did for the geese....LOVE geese...but the movie was far fetched with the Air Force and all..........I wanted to see the truth and not made up mess...which I think took away from the beauty of the wonderful heart that Bill Lishman has within his chest.......and the way the geese trusted him.......thank you CBS for your better telling of Bill's story!!!
Karen Sinclair how about mister happy pants Trudeau
This is the coolest house i have ever seen. I love this place. Awesome
One of the coolest refrigerators I've ever seen....inspiring for sure.
Fly away home is one of the best movies that dramatize actual events.
We found the Skywalker residence! Just WOW! And that Fridge, built into the kitchen islands instead of taking wall space, every house should have one and I love the science behind it!
Agreed!
Is it in Canada?
@@OphiuchiChannel "80km East of Toronto", so yes, in Southern Ontario, Canada.
seems like that too to me.
Ros Kahuna was checking the comments just to see if it reminded anyone of star wars too!
The fridge design is really cool. I love that design
Wonderful house. So original, thoughtful. Magnificent wall-building materials. Love it!!
Oh my god. That house is awesome. It feels like wood fairies live in that house.
Or Star Wars lol
@@TeriyakiDior Hahah. True.
Teletubbies.
Feels or seems?
@@RepublicTeaRoom seems would imply fairies are real.
Her husband/father idk which one she’s talking about building the home but he was an absolutely genius a engineer comparable to the Egyptians
Gimme a break!!
No one is comparable to the Egyptians,
They made an entire pyramid without any advanced tools that till this day, scientists still don't have a explanation of how they did it, all they have is theories!
That community project sounds amazing and I'd love to see it happen!
Incredible structure, well thought.
I would be so happy living in a home like this.
She sold me on that shawl, it is so convertible and looks soft and comfy :D
Oh I know!!
It was a cool concept, but she still uses real animal fur....she even said "they are just rodents" * sigh *
what kind of person says that a living creature is a renewable resource. what kind of person makes a fortune from the skinning of living beings and then weaves their skin for profit. Something really selfish and sick there. No matter how nice the house, it is inhabited by an uncaring soulless thing. Surely soft but at the cost of a lot of suffering. I would be embarrassed to wear so much pain.
@@julianalocklin7057 Thankyou😲I Thought the same thing that Women is Soulless.Even if the Beaver isn't an Endangered Species She a Monster like Mrs.Corella Divella the Disney📽MOVIE.
@@julianalocklin7057 You're all crazy. You'd rather wear plastic I guess. Rodent fur is renewable unlike oil. You're like children, having everything provided to you and never having to think of what it cost.
Wow. This is one of the most interesting things I’ve seen all year. Super cool. 😊
BEAUTIFUL, LIGHT, AIRY SPACIOUS HOME. I loved Fly Away Home.
I have been saying for LITERALLY DECADES that this is how houses in the midwest U.S. should be built for safety against tornadoes.
But what about flooding?
@Deimos Cain are you male or female
@@fightermma how is that relevant?
@@amber-dn5jk What are you referring to?
I do as I please not as what others want me to act like. I have my own autonomy.
Shade On A Cool Day ok
This makes you think about how inefficient our houses are. I would be down to live in something like this
Robert G our society measures efficiency in dollars not quality and it is definitely more expensive to build something like this than a conventional 4 wall house
@@lotuscoma4127 But it will last for at least 50 years !
Imagine having sex in that thing the eco
@@heliogonzalez2663 You are an F wit.
@@lotuscoma4127 i was gonna write the exact same thing :D
i love the idea of round houses & have it atleast partially underground!
but that round fridge popping out of the counter is just amazing!
This is one the most amazing house I have ever seen on CZcams.
