The Natural Homes Map (larger version) shows you where to find natural homes of straw bale, cob, earthbag, green oak timber frame and others with links to the owner's web site. The Natural Builders Map shows you where you can find a natural builder with a link to the builder's web site. For each map, slide the map around with your mouse, zoom in and out using the slide bar. Click any of the icons to see more details. You can see the homes on the Natural Homes List too. Please contact us to add more homes to the map or add a home yourself.

If you want to include the natural homes map in your own blog, then please cut and paste the code below in to your web site editor. This code displays all natural homes.

There are lots of ways you can use the map. Here's how:

The map takes three inputs. A construction type, a builder or community group of houses, and a map location. To pass your input to the map you use the character ? The current list of construction types are:

all, strawbale, cob, earthship, hempcrete,
timber, energy, strawclay, earthbag, ricehull and cordwood

To display all strawbale houses on the map use the input ?strawbale. You can see the result here.

?strawbale

To add a second input use the character @. The input ?strawbale@amazonails will display all the strawbale homes built by Amazonails, the UK straw bale builders. The map automatically centres on the group of houses so that you see the entire collection. Here's what you will see on the map.

?strawbale@amazonails

If you want to display all strawbale homes near Sacramento, USA, then you need to add a third input, the map reference. This has three parts separated by commas [latitude,longitude,zoom] To display all strawbale homes around Sacramento you need to input ?strawbale@all@38.57,-121.48,6 Here's what you get.

?strawbale@all@38.57,-121.48,6

We hope you will enjoy using the map and help to promote natural building across the World. If you are a builder and you would like to add the homes you have built then please contact us at house@naturalhomes.org.
