  • Description

    Description

    Our project has started from the idea of living naturally, outside the city but also interacting with local families who want to bring their children to spend time under the beautiful sky. We are also a family with a small child and we expect more from life than spending time inside concrete walls.

    Near the city, across vineyards and also close to a lake, we own half a hectare, where we offer the possibility of building naturally, with low-budget, organizing the landscape, etc. Help with cultivating the land would also be appreciated.

  • Help

    Help

    We are a nature loving family who would like to start a community house, however we have little to no experience. So help is required in planning, building and finishing the house. Main available material: clay, so it's an opportunity for us and our visitors to learn building techniques. We would appreciate a lot the help of people who did this kind of activity before.
