The record
The concept: an earth-sheltered house in the Andean west of Chubut, with a planted roof and a daylit central courtyard.
Site research, feasibility, access and services, and the technical questions specific to building into a slope: drainage, waterproofing, and the structural load of the soil cover.
Moving from concept sketches to engineered architectural drawings that a builder in Chubut can price and construct.
Permits, surveys, contractor selection, and site access. Nothing is dug before this phase is closed.
Excavation, retaining structure, waterproofing and drainage, the dome, and the return of the soil cover over the roof.
Fit-out, services, finishes, and everything that makes the shell habitable.
The house complete and, eventually, open to the people who followed it from the beginning.
Developments
Nothing has been published yet, because nothing has happened yet that would be honest to publish. This list starts on the day it does.
Money
Project financial information will be shared progressively as the project develops. No budget figures, cost estimates, or funding numbers are published here yet, because none of them have been confirmed. When real quotes and real invoices exist, they will appear on this page with their dates.
