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 finishing the inside straw isolation -mudding of the inside roof area lime-coating of some rooms and outside area, also we welcome people of permaculture, who like to deal with gardening-as the other ongoing project is to scythe the green area and harvest veggies and re-order plants.

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 welcome you to join us in this creation!

Thank you!

Csilla and family

I spent 4 days with Csilla, Ádám and their children. I chose to visit them because I wanted to learn about eco building but I got a thousand times more. Thanks to the openness of the family I became part of the family immediately. I got a lot of care and love from them, from the lively children too:) I experienced their life on the countryside,… read more

Csenge is a very friendly, openhearted and creative person. She takes the job what is needed, adapts quickly to circumstances. Her needs are simple and pure, which was a nice "coincidence" in our case as we believe in nature and simplicity. Csenge became part of our family in a day:) We hope she comes back to us and brings back her lovely artistic… read more

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
