Affordable and still Green: Sandbag Houses by MMA ArchitectsOn Fridays, we feature homes that we feel are environmentally responsible, but as one might suspect, architecture can also be good for the soul. <strong>MMA Architects</strong> recently completed a home built out of timber and <strong>sandbags</strong> - and became the winner of the Curry Stone Foundation Prize this year. The prize is awarded to individuals or groups that create architecture that has the potential to make positive changes in a community by offering shelter, community health, peace, or clean water, air and food. This sandbag house was built for a mere $6,000, making it affordable for low-income housing. The design also utilizes uncomplicated techniques- and was constructed with the help of its future residents who were able to gain a sense of ownership through the building process.1
