The Tour: This fascinating tiny earth house is being constructed in The Secret Garden for North West Disability Services in the grounds of Western Sydney University, Richmond. It is an example of DIY, low-cost housing and will become a community environmental education centre when completed. Ray will take you on a live virtual tour of the project and finish with Q&A. The tour will cover;
- low energy construction methods
