Green Building: Sustainable Prefab Home

Innovations in green building
Have presented us with several interesting ways of owning a sustainable home over the past few years, but now these qualities are available in a prefab earth-shelter package. Unlike traditional houses, they blend in with the surrounding landscape, and harness the passive heating and cooling properties of the Earth. Better than a green roof – you’ll have a greenhouse, and you can assemble the entire thing yourself – in days!
The energy-efficient and eco-friendly technology used in these Green Magic Homes makes it perfectly suited to any type of terrain and climate. Desert, mountains, forest, plains, or coast… any lot is perfect. Prefabricated vaulted panels made from fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) forms the structure and are so easy to put together that 3 people can build a 2 bedroom house in a week. They go together with screws and glue. And when you’re finished, you have a solid, waterproof home with sleek and modern rooms.
Green Magic Farmhouse
Combining both new and ancient techniques puts your home under the garden – not beside it. Now, that’s green building. And if you design your earth layer right, you can literally live in a farm house. Using earth as a building material dates back to when man graduated from cave dwelling. But instead of making mud and applying it like plaster as in adobe or cob building, these homes take advantage of geotextile soil retention, allowing a thick insulation layer. Once the plantings on the roof and walls develop good root systems, they hold the soil firmly – just as grasses and wildflowers do on a hillside in Nature.
Being below the surface like this, your Green Magic home withstands extreme weather like hurricanes and earthquakes. Your cost of home maintenance will be vastly lower over time too because you won’t need to replace the roofing every 10-20 years, paint or repair siding, or do many of the other things traditional houses demand. Not only that, your home is custom manufactured to your specifications, and less expensive than conventional new construction.
The average cost to build a 2,000 square foot home in the US is about $200 per square foot for basic, low-end finishes. The lot, landscaping and decorating are extra. If you want green building materials and technologies, you’re looking at a significant cost increase. But the largest Green Magic model offers 1,917 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 4 baths at about $42 per square foot delivered. Smaller models run about $34 per square foot. Average model prices in 2015 were from under $16,000 to just over $66,000.
That’s not a finished home. You still need a lot and a slab to build on, along with plumbing, wiring, the insulating soil layer, fixtures, decorating, and landscaping. Still, since you’re not paying all those skilled tradesmen required to build the shell of your house – your savings are substantial. And if you take advantage of solar energy, your monthly cost of living savings will be sizable too.
These exciting new green building homes are being built in Georgia, Tennessee, Nova Scotia, the UK, Italy, Spain, Ecuador, and beyond. They’re available all over the world. Options start at 500 square feet, and you can add special features and more rooms. It’s also easy to build an addition later on because they’re modular.

Building your own home needn’t cost you a fortune
The author JRR Tolkien is not often cited in connection with property websites. But back in 1937, in the opening lines of The Hobbit, he described Bag End, the home of the book’s hero, Bilbo Baggins: “In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.” And nowadays, it seems, it’s easier than ever to go down in the world.
While burrowing might seem more appropriate for hibernating animals than for humans at this time of year, there are many advantages to underground homes. As well as maximising space in small areas and mimimising visual impact on the environment, these are energy efficient. Natural earth insulation ensures that properties are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If you supplement this with solar panels, your home could be well on the way to being energy self-sufficient.
There are a range of existing properties around to inspire you. Malator, for instance, is an earth house overlooking St Brides Bay in Wales. With its turf roof and round doorway, it is unsurprisingly known locally as the Tellytubby house. Inside, what is essentially a single room is divided up by prefabricated coloured pods. The floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that the rooms are filled with light – and have magnificent views of the surrounding Pembrokeshire coastline. Bespoke architecture like this doesn’t come cheap, though: the build cost was approximately £1 million.

Villa Vals, meanwhile, is a holiday retreat dug in to the alpine slopes of Switzerland. Its design is reminiscent of a parabolic dish, resting against the hillside. Local materials were used both to ensure harmony with its natural surroundings and to be in keeping with the area’s building traditions. The concrete interior, though, lends an unmistakably contemporary feel. If you fancy experiencing earth dwelling, you can rent this property, from £700 (€950) for a weekend (http://villavals.ch/).
Over on the Greek island of Antiparos, the long stone walls of Aloni allow this home to nestle between two slopes and to maintain the continuity of the landscape. The living spaces are divided by courtyards, one of which features a striking slope planted with bushes. It’s as if the earth is coming to reclaim the space. Christies Real Estate are currently selling this for £1.4 million (www.christiesrealestate.com/eng/sales/detail/170-l-673-1305090401050427/aloni-antiparos-cities-in-cyclades-cy-84007).
Digging down is not confined to residential dwellings, either. Starchitect Zaha Hadid recently completed a clifftop museum for the climber Raymond Messner on the summit of Mount Kronplatz in South Tyrol. With its curved, glass-reinforced concrete, it looks like an ice shard has pierced the rock, and now protrudes majestically from each side. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this sci-fi structure featuring in a future Bond film. (www.zaha-hadid.com/architecture/messner-mountain-museum-corones/
If properties such as these have you reaching for your spade, there’s help at hand. Miami-based Green Magic Homes (www.greenmagichomes.com) has given traditional earth-sheltered construction a 21st-century twist. Their arched structures, made of prefabricated, fibre-reinforced polymer, come in modular components, offering numerous possibilities to customise the design of your home. There are even sand-covered options for desert climes. Or combine eco living with Good Life-style sustainability, by planting your own fruit and vegetables on the roof. Prices start at £10,000 ($15,000) for a 400 sq. ft., one-bedroomed ‘Waikiki’ studio; a four-bedroom ‘Mediterraneo’ house, meanwhile, which covers 1,900 sq. ft., will cost in the region of £45,000 ($66,500), depending on individual specifications. To which, of course, you must add the cost of the land.
A word of warning, though – check with your neighbours before building your very own hobbit-hole. “And,” as Tolkien observed, “that means comfort”.
1. Employ the right architect. Underground buildings present unique challenges: seek expert advice. Useful websites include: aselfbuild.co.uk and earthshelter.sustainablesources.com
2. Contact the relevant planning department (in the UK, planningportal.gov.uk) and investigate rules for building underground, in terms of structural supports, waterproofing, ventilation, draining and so forth.
3. Commission a thorough survey to determine factors such as ground water levels and slope stability. As well as to confirm that there is nothing running through your proposed site: moving gas pipes, electricity cables or sewage outlays could send your budget soaring.
4. Ensure that the orientation of the building maximises light through south-facing windows.
5. Don’t skimp on moisture control and ventilation systems: these are crucial, to control indoor air quality and humidity. The Association for Environment Conscious Building (aecb.net) gives advice on this and other factors.
