Build your own earthship — anywhere in the world.

Every earthship we design is completely bespoke — shaped by your site's climate, soil, codes and the life you want to live on it. This form begins that conversation.

A note before you begin

This isn't a quick contact form — and that's the point.

An earthship is a living system, not a house plan. To quote one thoughtfully we need to understand your land, weather, water, soil, codes and what you actually want to live like. The questions below are that conversation.

Don't know every answer? That's completely fine — skip anything that needs a site visit, soil test, or a conversation with local authorities. Your progress saves automatically as you type, so you can come back when you've gathered more.

Submitting creates no obligation. You'll receive consultation options, pricing and a few preliminary thoughts within a few days.

Why so detailed? & how to prepare

Earthships are integrated living systems — they have to work with your climate, soil, local building codes and daily rhythms. The planning phase is the most important (and hardest) part of any earthship project. Getting it right from the start saves years and a lot of money.

Before you start, it helps to:

  • Walk your land in different weather and at different times of day
  • Talk to neighbours about drainage, flooding, and local building experiences
  • Look up your local zoning and building permit requirements
  • Think about long-term use — seasonal, rental, or full-time home?
  • Note your comfort priorities — heating, cooling, energy independence

Section I

Let's start with how to reach you

Only your name and email are strictly required — everything else in this form is optional context.

Section II

Site location & access

Country + region is the single most useful piece of information — it tells us the climate zone and legal landscape.

Section III

Climate exposure & microclimate

How does your land sit inside the weather?

Section IV

Soil & geological conditions

If you haven't tested yet, "Unknown" is a perfectly honest answer.

Section V

Infrastructure & utilities

What's already on site, and what needs to be built?

Section VII

Project goals & design priorities

What are you actually trying to build, and for whom?

Section VIII

Sustainability & systems

Energy, water, materials, and how hands-on you want to be.

Section IX

Budget & timeline

These help us recommend a realistic scope. Rough ranges are fine.

Section X

Known challenges & concerns

Anything that worries you, however vague — it's useful for us to hear now.

Section XI

Anything else you'd like us to know?

Plus a quick human-check, and you're done.

Quick human-check

One tiny question before you send

Just to keep the spambots out.

Either "7" or "seven" works.

What happens next: your request reaches Alex directly. You'll get a personal reply with consultation options, pricing, and some initial thoughts on your project — typically within a few days.
