Description
Hello! We are a big family. We are dealing with our children and all kinds of eco activities: my partner as a wood artisan and bio architecture professional and myself as natural remedy seeker-user. We live in Hungary in a little hilly town on a lakeside, called Kustánszeg. Thanks to the children we learn by experience the teachings of nature and life. We believe in life’s beauty, complexity and creative forces. We use these qualities as mainstream in our projects.

Help
Currently we are looking for people interested in building with mud.

We are rebuilding an old house in a natural manner. We are creating an eco-hybrid home. This is a renovation of a typical town-brick house from old and/or natural and/or reused-recreated materials and construction techniques.

We arrived to the phase of insulation. We decided to insulate our walls with straw bales. Straw bales are on the prepared places and we need to plaster it with loam earthen plaster.

We welcome you to join us in this creation!

Thank you!

Csilla and family

A pleasure to meet someone like Sabine: very kind and adaptive personality from the first minutes (and before:)). We had some projects e.g. inside wall rep with mud. Sabine was open and eager to learn about it and did with success what was needed. She is very flexible towards work and family situations. Thanks to her we could have a very nice 5… read more

Great experience ! Csilla was very kind and helpful from the first contact by mail. As she couldn't receive me in the first place, she connected me to friends of her, also receiving volunteers, and I spent my first days there.
Than I shared a bit of the "normal" life of the family : the work on the new house with Adam (what a cool Boss ;-)), the… read more
