drbubb Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Sustainable Living in PHL. Sometimes cheaply. always with Creativity ! There are so many ways to incorporate Sustainability into your living arrangements, and PHL provides a blank canvas for creative people Other countries, with more money to spend are ahead of The Philippines. We can learn from their example and ideas.... Here's a sustainable city in Dubai. A friend who gave me the link wrote: "if they did something like this here, id buy into it... provided i can afford it" No doubt, the Philippines can do "sustainable living" in its own way, at more affordable prices. I will look at some of the ideas that might be imported here, and eventually some of the local versions of Sustainable living on a PHL budget Sustainable City | Fully Charged in Dubai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted July 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Here's a totally different approach: a Tiny home that feels like it is part of the garden around it it was more interesting to watch than I expected This Dream Tiny House Is A Total Game Changer - over 2million hits in just a few days This stunning tiny house is packed full of amazing, game changing design! From the ultra clever, future-proofed layout and space-saving furniture to the incredible green-wall, exquisite reclaimed timbers and green-roof features, this truly is a dream tiny house. It’s hard to believe that it’s now been almost seven years since we filmed our very first tiny house tour with Shaye. At the time, she was living in Lucy, a cute DIY cottage-style tiny house. You can see a link to our first tour here: https://youtu.be/f3SwqNzsNwg Since then, life has changed a lot and Shaye has started a tiny house building company. Years of tiny house design experience and over 30 tiny house builds later, this home is a conjunction of many of her favourite design concepts. Enjoy the full tour of this incredible tiny home. To find out more about Shaye and her tiny house builds, you can visit her website: https://www.shayestinyhomes.com/ Comments / Living Big In A Tiny House It's hard to believe that it's been seven years since we visited Shaye in her original tiny house on wheels. That was our very first tiny house tour! The show has come a long way since then, and so has Shaye's tiny house designs! I hope you enjoy this very special episode! With love, Bryce & Rasa Your Golf Place 1 week ago Wow, this is one of the best designed and spec'd tiny homes I've ever seen. Awesome work Christian Que 1 week ago This house is a masterpiece of design. Imagine, putting a second floor walkway inside a tiny house. The house does not look tiny at all.

drbubb Posted July 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Saving money in a creative way This beautiful tiny house is also a Money Saver At nzd100,000 (usd 65,000, php 3.2Million ) it only costs 10% of the full size homes around it. It is on wheels and is moveable, and the couple can rent a cheap & beautiful parking space for it. Meanwhile, the money they are saving, they will use to buy land (where it can be moved to in the future.) (No doubt a PHL version of a tiny home can be done much more cheaply.) Our Urban Tiny House In New Zealand After so many years in the works, I’m so excited to finally be able to share a tour of our very own tiny house on wheels in New Zealand. I started this project almost 5 years ago now, and it’s wonderful to now be able to share the finished home with you. For those of you who have been following my journey since the very beginning, you’ve been waiting a long time for this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 If you want to go all the way back to Nature... and become a Troll or a Hobbit... "I don't want people to mortgage away their lives" Woman Builds £1000 Tiny Earthen Home To Live Close To Nature In Welsh Woods This weeks episode takes us to the wild woods of Wales, where a remarkable woman has chosen to live close to nature in a £1000 tiny earthen home, with no running water, electricity, or internet. To many of us, this may seem like an extreme lifestyle choice, but for Emma, this way of life is all about building a closer relationship to nature while also creating a lifestyle where she is free of the pressures of the modern world. Her simple home is beautiful, cosy and warm. Water is collected from a spring fed stream which runs by her house, and at night, candles and a fire light her home. Emma’s story is a wonderful reminder of just how little we actually need in life, and perhaps also a reminder of how much of ourselves that we need to sacrifice in order to obtain the things we do have. I hope you enjoy her story and the video tour of her very special, very simple home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 COMMENT on PHP Costs: ...

drbubb Posted July 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 WHAT is an Eco-Village? What might the houses in it look like? Cost here: nzd 80,000 = usd 52,000 = about php 2.6 million Beautiful Tiny House in an Eco Community EarthSong Eco-Neighbourhood has long been at the cutting edge of sustainable design and urban permaculture. It's for that very reason that it should be no surprise to discover that EarthSong is also now home to one of New Zealand's first Tiny Houses. At just over 11 square meters, Connie Kristensen has built her house based on plans from the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company in the US. Jam-packed with very clever design elements, the house has been masterfully constructed with great attention to detail. The workmanship in this home truly is exceptional. The house was constructed over a period of 10 months, and last week moved to it's new home-pad at the EarthSong community. Tiny Houses are perfectly suited to community living. They are small; yet provide more than enough personal space. Living in community has some huge benefits for Tiny House owners too. For example, in this case, shared common room facilities for entertaining larger groups of people, access to permaculture gardens, organic food and even a central composting toilet facility. / 2 / Is this Coastal TINY HOUSE COMMUNITY the Ideal Lifestyle? Village: Tiny Tranquility Tiny Tranquility is a Tiny House Community located on the central Oregon coast with full-time 38 Tiny Home residents. Also on the property is a community green house, living room, game room, large shared kitchen, and more! The beach is only 5 minutes away, and the community also offers unique nightly rentals, such as vintage trailers.

drbubb Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Others say that Shipping Containers are not the magical answer... solving all the problems 7 reasons why shipping container homes are a SCAM == Container Problems: they have fixed sizes (even smaller when insulated), containers are compromised when cut & may need reinforcement, they need insulation or are too hot or too cold which may attract mold & rot. Also, there can be a health risk associated with their prior use. Cost of transport from port to housing location can be high & they may be not fully sound on arrival, after years of being knocked around. Insulation cannot be organic like cotton; may need to be foam. Overall, they might be 20% cheaper to use than other methods, but the restrictions may mean the cost advantage i swiped out.

drbubb Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Rather stylish, I think Ex Hong Kong Architect’s Family Tiny House Working for 15 years as an architect in Hong Kong, Bobbie is no stranger to small space design. After returning home to New Zealand and going through a separation, she decided to put her design and build skills to the test to create a wonderful tiny house for her and her two children. This home is filled with clever design ideas, such as a raked wall with bay windows to increase the usable interior space and lots of innovative storage solutions. Deigning a tiny house which is ideally suited to family life is a challenging task and Bobbie has created a beautiful home which perfectly caters to the needs of both her and her children.
