One Community is demonstrating sustainability as a path to a more luxurious life through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:
This week, Abhishek Kadian (Architect) completed the Revit model, along with the nearly finished roof section details for individual blocks, including the Dome structure of Earthbag Village (Pod 1) and the Flat roof surface for the gathering space composed of wooden joists. The section cut has already been executed; it just requires the addition of a few more details. Check out the collage below to see his models.
Charles Gooley (Web Designer) focused on the Resources section and Tables of Contents in the Open Source DIY Earth Dam and construction for the Water Retention, Pond, and Lake Creation, etc. page. The page has been finalized and is now ready for review. Following this completion, attention shifted to addressing comments on the Most Sustainable Doors and Door Companies page, primarily addressing typographical errors in the mouseover title text. Subsequently, efforts continued on reviewing comments related to the Water Recycling Net-Zero Bathroom page. The majority of these comments were related to grammatical and typographical errors. Two comments required clarification, involving the correction of headings. Adjustments were made, including converting some h3 headings to h2, changing h6 to h3, and transforming certain paragraph underlined headings to h3 (capitalized and not underlined). We see readily available water and recreational water features as a big part of sustainability as a path to a more luxurious life.
