Freya's House is an off-grid green building that showcases multiple natural building techniques from straw bale, cob, and rammed earth walls, to earthen floors, a green roof, and reclaimed, salvaged and locally sourced materials. It uses solar power for electricity, a legal composting toilet, and on-site greywater filtration.

The house is located at O.U.R Ecovillage in Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, Canada which is a 25-acre Regenerative Living Demonstration, Research Center, and Bioregional School that hosts a land-based permaculture learning community. The O.U.R. vision is "sustainable well-being for the land, ourselves, and our worldwide village."
