Customers are combining my designs in many new and interesting ways. Most of my designs are intentionally small and simple in order to keep costs low. But some people want larger houses. This can be achieved by clustering domes, roundhouses, hexagons, and adding on pantries, sun rooms, greenhouses, etc. to create a home just the way you like.
Some of these designs are truly unique. Here are three examples:

Six Pod Cluster (click to enlarge)
Double Arc House with Pond
Earthbag House Plans 
Living in Toronto I’d love to see some earthbag houses locally and get in touch with people so involved.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I’ll post this and see if anyone in your area replies. So far, most earthbag houses have been built in dry climates. I’ve been trying to expand earthbag building to other climates, including cold climates: Insulated Earthbag Houses
Hi!, my name is Max, I wonder how well these designs will work in the tropics or caribbean Islands as part of a sustainable project.
Earthbag works fine, although domes in rainy climates are not recommended. This has been discussed in detail on our Natural Building Blog.
Here are some good articles on building earthbag in tropical areas: http://www.earthbagbuilding.com/articles.htm#climate

Our roundhouse has worked wonderfully in a tropical climate:

Hi
I would like to be able to build the six pod cluster. How do you go about buying the plans so you know the dimensions?
Thanks
