Sandbag Superadobe

Sandbag Superadobe shelters are made from sandbags filled with local earth and barbed wire. They can withstand earthquakes and are suitable for refugees and disaster victims. They can be made into permanent shelters, can have multiple rooms, and have just won an architectural award.

    I’m very interested in Superadobe architecture. Have you or has anyone you personally know built a Superadobe home?

    Thanks,

    Heya Dane

      I’m interested too and I’ve just purchased a plot of sweet earth to build one on!
    I’m now exploring the options and challenges of constructing a rammed earth “Eco Dome” within the confines of the beaucratic system…………….quite an education in due process if ya want to fly above the radar.
    Good to see there are some like minded persons out there!

    How have you been doing with your superadobe building project?  Have you been able to get zoning to allow you to build such a structure.  I am interested in exploring this option too but even in our rural areas out here I am running into zoning and if not zoning, deed restrictions.
