In Taos, New Mexico. The brainchild of Michael Reynolds, who wanted to be self-sustaining buildings off-the-grid. He started outside of Taos, where he lives. There are now earthships all over the world.
I visited on May 22, 2011 as part of my Santa Fe (May 2011) trip. Pictures from my visit]. They're currently working on the Earthship Village Ecologies (EVE) there, a self-sustaining commune for 25 people that will also grow all of its own food.
Andrew stayed at this Earthship:
- It's kind of interesting to drive out there. There is a full-sized castle made of pop cans next door and a pyramid-shaped sauna like thing, where supposedly the earthship creator spent some time. The roads are mostly dirt in this area.
The studio Andrew's friend Rose built off the grid is here: 36.486013,-105.816815. That's about 30 minutes on dirt roads and you'll never find it.
