The Natural Homes Map shows you where you can find low-impact natural homes of straw bale, cob, earthbag, green oak timber frame and others with links to the owner's web site. We also have a Natural Builders Map that 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 and zoom in and out using the slide bar on the left. Click any of the icons to see details. You can also see the ecoHouse collection on the Natural Homes List. Please contact us to add more builders and ecoHomes to the collection.

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

If you want to include a single low-impact natural home construction type on your web site or blog then select the code from the appropriate text box from the set below. You can select from straw bale (which includes load-bearing and infill straw bale homes), cob, earthship, hempcrete, timber frame (which includes green oak homes), off-grid (homes that generate their own power), strawclay and cordwood homes.

Here's how the straw bale house map looks.

The pictures in the blog map are smaller than in the version on Natural Homes so that the map can fit in the standard blog column width. If you would like a special version of the map for you web site please get in touch and tell us what you need.

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 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.
