Earthbag Building - Toolshed & Storage with Adjacent Guest Room

The first building on our jungle hillside property. Dimensions are 4 m x 8 m x 2.80 m. Rougly 1100 earthbags and over 50 metric tons of dirt were used to create this fortress-like structure. Duration of actual bagwork, in case you wondered, was 4 persons for 4 weeks. The wooden ceiling serves as a multipurpose platform beautifully overlooking the jungle.
