Dancing Rabbit TV: Eco-Cribs: Larkspur

Posted by admin on August 15th, 2009 and filed under house design | 17 Comments »

In the second episode of DRTV, we take a look at Larkspur, home of Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage members Tony and Alyssa. In their tour, the duo includes information and tips about their natural home design and building process. Larkspur features local and sustainable building materials, including reclaimed lumber, light clay straw insulation, and earthen plaster, and its power is provided by renewable energy, including solar panels and a wind tower.
