Kinship Kinglake

Kinship Kinglake is a post-Black Saturday, eco-resilient Earthship designed to withstand extreme bushfires and the threats of climate disruption. Kinship Kinglake and owner-builder Daryl Taylor have been featured across a wide range of media, including ABC Radio National, RRR FM, The Age and The National Sustainable Living Festival.

At Kinship, Daryl regularly conducts property tours, hosts workshops and runs short courses.

> Kinship tours include a detailed site inspection of a global model Earthship inspired dwelling and the biotecture retrofit of a pre-existing solar-passive mud-brick house alongside an extensive and open discussion of the processes and concepts that drive the project forward.

> Workshops covering biotecture natural building and permaculture garden design are run with Green Architect and Natural Builder, Laura Marini.

> Short courses will be launched in the second half of 2024. Topics include: systems thinking, pattern literacy, futures studies, disaster preparedness and environ-mental health.
