How the Structure Works
Operating Principle
By harnessing thermal mass, solar gain, and natural ventilation, these buildings maintain comfort and functionality year-round — often without the need for active heating systems — while the tire-based structure also delivers exceptional earthquake resistance and remains non-toxic (see FAQ).
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE BUNDLE
A 70-minute high-resolution documentary (available in English and French) that guides you step by step through the entire building process.
Structured into 32 individual lessons, the film follows the same sequence as the Greenhouse of the Future eBook, allowing you to learn progressively as you build.
In addition to real-life footage of the construction, the documentary also includes professional 3D animations that clearly illustrate every part of the structure — from the tire walls and drainage systems to the roof, insulation, and ventilation — making complex concepts easy to understand and apply.
