  Description

  Hi!
  We are Andrea and Javier, a couple Who is building their house using COB technique and other ways using mainly earth, Stones, straws and lime, the ancient concrete from mayas & romans.
  
  The project is a house in building that make the patios the main actors of the home because the good weather we use to have here at Todos Santos. Different types of roofs we are building like bolts and flat. We are 4 kms from downtown and 4 kms from the beach, in a silent and pretty calm hill that looks like you are into the desert. We have a quite good camp tent with its bed.
  
  Trabajamos con la conservación de oficios tradicionales y hacemos construcción de vivienda con materiales naturales. La técnica que mayormente utilizamos es tierra amasada apilada (COB). Vivimos en Todos Santos, Baja California Sur y nos gusta generar espacios multiculturales con nuestros encuentros. Como es zona de huracanes, protegemos la tierra con cal, arena y paja.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  In our home, we strive to create spaces for dialogue through various traditional processes. We discuss ancient construction methods; ways of living more closely tied to our roots. We try different flavors of Mexican cuisine and elixirs of our culture. Here, we learn together to build homes and ways of living that are less harmful to nature. We also foster all kinds of ideas to share experiences and ways of life that help us preserve our identities.
