In Washington, we’re no stranger to weird happenings. In fact, we love to embrace it all! In the early 1970s, a man named Michael Reynolds came up with idea of Earthships. Never heard of this before? Then let us explain. Reynolds came up with the idea to build self-sustaining homes out of unique materials like recyclables and elements of the earth. The funky, eye-catching homes can now be found all over the world, and one of them is right here in Seattle!
Michael Reynolds created a community of Earthships
out in New Mexico; he completed his first home in 1988.
Today, the Trash Studio is nearly complete after a handful of years in the making, although they do have some exterior work that they'd still like to accomplish.
One of the major goals with building this unique structure is to help get the idea of Earthships out into the community more. The self-sufficient lifestyle continues to grow as time goes on, one that the people who helped build the Trash Stuido hope the world continues to embrace more and more.
The invitation is only open to those who are truly interested in putting their hands to work. The Trash Studio will be putting some of their finishing touches on their Earthship on Saturday, February 11th. The team will be finishing the final coat of cob plaster, working on the floor and potentially on the roof.
