If you need to build a house in the desert, what kind of house you going to build? If you don’t want the house to become super heated during the day, you definitely not going to build a metal building type of house 😛 Come on… you can’t build a house full of metal in the desert or even next to the sea… it’s going to be very hot inside and get rusty easily if built next to the sea.

So, you need to follow what the local tribes in Africa or other tribes around the world who are living in hot and harsh weather condition. What do they use to build their houses?… well, they use clay or cow dung!!! 😆 yea cow dung… 😛 But I’m sure it won’t be smelly once the cow dung dried… unless it rains… but no worries, rain don’t comes that often in the desert 😛

Anyways, here is an amazing and weird earth home… the earthship called Sol Ship can be found in New Mexico… and it is for sale with a price tag of $265,000.00 and comes with one-bed and one-bath only… and off from the power grid too, meaning no electricity 😛 but uses passive solar thermomass construction that heats and cools the interior.

But to make it less boring inside, it has an indoor koi pond and hand-plastered walls with whimsical sculpted displays around the fireplace and walls… and to make sure you don’t get dehydrated, there are two underground, 3000-gallon cisterns hold water… don’t you think it looks scary? 😛
