Exploring Alternatives

Ongoing, Teaching

Mat and Danielle from Exploring Alternatives recently visited Mark Fleischhaker, P.Eng., to help share his experiences care-taking the Darfield Earthship.

Mark is a structural engineer who works on alternative structures and is currently the caretaker of the Darfield Earthship in BC. He’s been living there for nearly 2 years,and is also in the process of designing several Earthships so he is an incredible resource. We’re grateful that we had a chance to spend an afternoon picking his brain about his experience living in an Earthship, and learning how they can perform in Canada’s extreme climate (spoiler alert: it varies!). – Exploring Alternatives
