Looks similar to the idea of using compressed earth blocks to build a house, but with significantly lighter material. I wonder how they'd fare in the winter, though?
I own a Hydraform Compressed Earth Block Machine and you are exactly correct. The neat thing about this machine is that it is not necessarily for compressing earth!
A wood block house, built right to prevent air infiltration would probably be as goos lld as a well built log home. And they are a fairly proven technology.
I'm an Englishman living in Chile. My wife and I are looking to build a wood house and would love to use this method but we can't find any information online about it. Could anyone point me in the right direction. Many thanks
Hello, unfortunately i wasn't able to find much information about the company mentioned in this video, either. I found one company, which seems to produces the ''tsumiki house'', it also seems that the engineer/architect from the video - shigeo nakao works for. www.toshimaro.jp/english/
Hello, i was able to find the founder of that company - Shigeo Nakao and his facebook page. His company's website is this - www.coara.or.jp/~tumiki/ it is however entirely in Japanese. Their email address is this - tumiki@fat.coara.or.jp I dont know if he will understand english but you could try. His facebook page is this - facebook.com/sigeo.nakao/about
Here is another website supposedly of the Tsumki House that i found - tsumiki.next.gr.jp/ there is an email address below, i suggest anyone interested to directly contact Shigeo Nakao
Like OUR kids today, None want to "Put In the Time" I see farms and ranches in Texas disappearing because the kids want the MONEY and to heck with the land of their ancestor's who labored long and hard to make it livable and productive. It is sad that the SAME kids who whine and preach about saving the land are the FIRST to sell it to "Developers". This man's kids seem to have the same mindset...Disturbing
We should all have the right to follow our own dreams, not be bound by our forebears. Mr Nakao's children may go on to be of importance in a totally different field... it is unreasonable to expect them to pursue another person's dream. The real hope here is that someone else will be inspired to pick up this concept and take it further.
So I want to use this method in a VERY hot desert area? Any suggestions? I need more of an insulation factor. Can I spray Aircrete on one side? Inside? Outside?
It's difficult to know what is the official website of the company. The person from the video has a facebook page - facebook.com/sigeo.nakao/about you can contact him from there, there is a website placed there, but the link does not work. Here is another website that seems to be of the Tsukumi house company that i found - tsumiki.next.gr.jp/ there is an email address below, you can contact the person from there and ask him anything.
Too much machine work to make it feasible. When I saw the thread, I thought the blocks were going to be from the cutting waste. I can't imagine how much saw dust is created forming these blocks.
That’s why we have OSB and Particle board product that use waist. Also companies can use the saw dust to make logs and wood pellets for fire. Nothing is wasted in the timber industry.
Im interested to read or receive information on mr Takumi method od havinfg Diy housing project.Kindly send me info and link to their website.Thank you

Connecting roof trusses is a simple excercise. Note they use a steel angle between the posts bolted to the vertical steel rods so a stiff panel results. However connections are needed at the foundation to posts and post to roof members. light timber beams bolted to the posts can support roof loads wind earthquake snow as required. Furthermore the blocks need a durability/termite treatment - stepped lower at external wall/foundation junction. Internal walls will need to be connected to the structure to provide lateral support. All simple logics.
I want to build one of these. I wonder if anyone is doing it today? Definitely worthwhile if you can find a good supply of off cuts, but you will still might have to pay almost their firewood value.
Brilliant idea. Recycling from forest waste.
This dude would be the MVP at Hilltop in the Walking Dead
What brilliant concept but a lot more design/planning needed prior to building. The big benefit is a lot of construction with low skills.
would make a very good shed too. would like to see how the roof was put on and finished
Surely the whole world will follow this
Very efficient and interesting construction method
Absolute genius!
I want more information!

Michael Joseph May - hi Michael - did u get any info on this video

Ron Gray; I like the compressed earth bricks concept. Do you get much use out of your machine?

My best video find of the day. Thought singularity achieved again :)
dear sir
it is my pleasure to know from u can v make cement block , i may have pleasure to receive your reply
Not suprised a japanese carpenter could figure this out.
Great work...
I want a house like this
How cool. When it falls to pieces nobody gets hurt. Like cardboard blocks. Thanks
Wow. Do you poopoo on every idea? Or is there something about this one in particular that you didn't like but couldn't articulate?
What about earthquake stability?

i found this web www.brikawood-ecologie.fr/manifeste/ that you're finding, i hope that you can contact with them to built your house
Here is another website supposedly of the Tsumki House that i found - tsumiki.next.gr.jp/ there is an email address below, i suggest anyone interested to directly contact Shigeo Nakao
I was able to locate Mr. Nakao's son.
Mr. Nakao passed away 2 years ago and it doesn't sound like anyone kept the vision alive.
Is the co still in operation?
Like OUR kids today, None want to "Put In the Time" I see farms and ranches in Texas disappearing because the kids want the MONEY and to heck with the land of their ancestor's who labored long and hard to make it livable and productive.

William Lowry no, it doesn't sound that way.
Quite sad...truly!

Is it going to rain in those very hot areas? Because the wood needs moisture
Anyone find information on the building process or been able to contact Shigeo Nakao???

USA builders here are the secrets to wood bricks get to work
wow! :)
saw it nhk today but still no web info .. weird
How do you cut the wood? Needs to be automated to be efficient.
Too much machine work to make it feasible. When I saw the thread, I thought the blocks were going to be from the cutting waste. I can't imagine how much saw dust is created forming these blocks.
That’s why we have OSB and Particle board product that use waist. Also companies can use the saw dust to make logs and wood pellets for fire. Nothing is wasted in the timber industry.
Yes instead of making firewood ,make it to wood hollowblock
Did anyone make contact?
There is a French company with a similar product called Brickawood or something similar. But it is limited in how large the structure can be.
yes i know brickawood.. but didn't know it was limited size?
Clever.
Thanks
Can eculyptus tree used for this wood construction bec in India v have in abundance...

Where can l get this material and how much does it cost?
I'm another one that would like more information can you send me how I can get with the supplier?
I believe this is their website: tsumiki.next.gr.jp/
The email left for contact is: tsumiki@next.gr.jp
I interested ..do you have supplier in indonesia??

Dear sir
I love your idea may I ask if you show me how to do build them.aa I looking for building homes for veterans
But how to build the roof?

Paulownia wood is more flexible in case of earthquakes
The wood could be free but the labor cost would be terrible. A really bad idea.
How can I buy this in the USA?
Colleen Hammond - did u find out any info
@@paulmichaelortiz8642 Sadly, no
Easy to install a kid can do it, but the difficult is the making of the block
Wood chips of pallet. We are making block and building houses from it. @
How? and where?
この建築工法感動しました。
ご連絡先をご存知な方教えてください。
宜しくお願いします。
When building this it should be compulsory that you dress like little LEGO men!!!
Meh. OSB and particle board is what you get with the crappy wood. Nothing is waisted in the timber industry. Japanese over complicate it as usual.
Weird voice
woodprix instructions is nice for that.
Can you send information on how to cut the wooden blocks pls
