Top Comments of this video!! :3
When we built our home, we downloaded the blueprints from a local school construction database. Due to our seismic conditions, we build with corrugated steel, pumice block and concrete. Besides, our land is rainy and it is up to 30 Celsius during summers. Most of time is cloudy. Congratulations to you from Guatemala Central America.

Thank you for featuring one of my favorite designer builders! I’ve taken most of Alosha’s courses over the years and I can say he is very innovative in his work. I particularly like this Siberian vault build. In America we throw away so much lumber, a good portion of the materials could be scavenged. Another option is to buy a cheap Harbor Freight sawmill, saw your lumber then sell the mill.
Lots of ways to build affordably and Alosha is good at “outside the box” thinking to save money and time.
Two thumbs up!

The arch roof reminds me of barn construction I'd seen growing up outside of Lacota, Michigan. When a restorer of old barns demonstrated how the arches were built I was incredulous. The lattice addition Alosha learned was ingenious! I would love to know how well it performs. We are surrounded by so many answers to living more lightly and better on earth without selling an arm and a leg to do it.. it just might to require community...

In many traditional/indigenous northern cultures, birch bark is used as a moisture barrier between the wood/log walls and the earth. In the video it appears they they only used a vapor barrier on the roof. Harvesting birch bark isnt always an option, but adapting the wisdom of northern cultures, I'd run the polyethylene all the way down the wall, and probably about 6" below grade.

A liveable space costing $2000, created in 600 man hours and survivable down to -50° c. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
