Engineer Living in a Beautiful Earthship Shares Valuable Insight!

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!).

If you'd like to get in touch with Mark or follow his work, you can find him online and on Instagram here:
