These are really so creative! I cannot pin point my favorite because every single staircase is just gorgeous. However, the pink painted staircase by Felice Varini is really so catchy. This is really a product of a great artistic mind. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed going through this post.

Earth Sheltered

The earth-house uses the ground as an insulating blanket that efficiently protects it from temperature extremes, wind, rain and extreme weather events.

Modern Underground

Underground homes with a modern bent. A large thermal mass stabilizes inside temperatures, giving you free heat in the winter, free cooling in the summer.

Pit Greenhouses

For those in northern, high altitude or windy climates who wish to grow their food year round. Take advantage of the insulating properties of the Earth.

Stacking Firewood

Ingenious ways to stack firewood.

Rocket Mass Heaters

The rocket mass heater works on similar properties as a masonry heater. A fast, high heat and oxygen-fed fire burn up the volatile gases and particulates, leaving very little pollution, and turn almost every ounce of wood fuel into energy.

Masonry Wood Cookstoves

Masonry heaters can incorporate cook stoves. And cook stoves can act as masonry heaters for small homes.

Masonry Heaters with Ovens

Bake ovens can be either white (the fire is in another box, usually below the oven) or black (the fire is in the same compartment as the food being cooked).

Masonry Heaters

Heat, not pollution. The cleanest burning wood stoves have been around for centuries, yet have taken a backseat to metal wood stoves and other polluting energy sources for far too long. Time for a revival!

Indoor Pizza Ovens

If you live in a cool climate, you might as well investigate adding a masonry heater along side your pizza oven. Or at least understanding them so that you might take advantage of exhaust heat.

River Rock Fireplaces

Although lots of mass and beautiful, most heat goes straight up the flue. Build a conventional fireplace for beauty alone, build a masonry fireplace for heat.

Container Homes

Somewhere around 30 million steel shipping containers exist today. 8 feet wide by 8.5 feet high, and either 20 or 40 feet long, they have been the globally standardized transportation module since 1956.

Insect Hotels

Call them bug condos, insect hotels, insect habitats, wildlife stacks, insect boxes, insect houses, insect walls, wild bee walls, insect accommodation, wild bee houses, solitary bee walls or wild bienenhaus. Wildlife habitat is rapidly disappearing. Building beneficial insects a special habitat will help your garden and the bugs.

Outdoor Earth Ovens

Examples of pure cob and adobe, and refractory castable cement over bricks.

Outdoor Brick Ovens

Recycle some old bricks...into an oven.

Outdoor Masonry Ovens

Build an outdoor oven with local stone and DIY skills for a few hundred dollars. Or, buy an oven kit and have it veneered for a few thousand.

Living Willow Hedges

Willow cuttings called 'withies' easily root in either water or moist soil. Plant in late winter and come July you'll have a privacy screen.

Hedge Laying

Over two thousand years older than chain link.

Greenhouses from Old Windows and Doors

Replacing your old windows or windowed doors with more energy efficient ones? Here's a project to repurpose those old windows.

Stone Furniture

No more plastic! Or vinyl, or PVC! Looks great as a weight loss program as well. First, the perspiration created while moving the stones into place, and certainly one would not become lazy and lounge around for too long on any of these pieces of furniture.

Pebble Pathways
