If you’re in Christchurch don’t miss Craig Jarvis’s talk on building sustainable homes that are good for us and the planet.
Smash Palace, 172 High Street, Christchurch. 12 August, 5.30 – 7.30pm.
Craig Jarvis is a seriously clever green architect, he’s also my sisters fiancé and one the most amazing human’s! In 2004 Craig moved his two young kids onto a bare piece of land by the beach with no road access in Taylors Mistake, Christchurch to live his dream of being off-grid and totally sustainable.
The family first lived in a tent while he built a 13 sqm tiny home on the property, while living there for the last 15 years Craig designed and is now in the process of building an absolutely stunning off-grid home that will be New Zealand’s first ever ‘Living Building’.
A funny and engaging speaker, Craig is passionate about the use of healthy and sustainable building materials in homes and harnessing the earths power to generate electricity. He has given a number of talks on the topic, including a Ted Talk.
