    Description

    from october i am organising a new project at etna in the nature reserve -parco del etna-.
    we are converting an old stone house into a new ecological wooden house with chestnut wood from etna.
    all building materials and techniques will be used according to ecological aspects. it will also be a recycling project.
    the land will be managed ecologically and we will plant a lot of new plants, also with permaculture.
    at the moment i still live in Presa-Piedimonte-Etnea, the new project will be built near monte ilice-zafferana.

    the photos are partly from the project
    and the newer red stone house is now being converted into a wooden house.


    ab oktober organisiere ich ein neues projekt am etna im naturschutzgebiet -parco del etna-
    ein altes steinhaus bauen wir um in ein neues ökologisches Holzhaus mit Kastanienholz vom etna, alle baustoffe und techniken werden nach ökologischen aspekten verwendet-verbaut, es wird auch ein recycling projekt sein.
    das grundstück wird ökologisch bewirtschaftet und wir werden viel neu pflanzen, auch mit permakultur.
    zur zeit wohne ich noch in Presa-Piedimonte-Etnea, das neue projekt entsteht am monte ilice-zafferana.

    As a teacher at the university I can give good guidance to design for ecological building and living in nature, you also can easily reach Catania or go hiking to vulcano Etna.

    For people interested in architecture: here you can find very well preserved, very large farmhouses for wine and olive growing.


    als lehrer an der hochschule kann ich gute anleitungen zum entwerfen für ökologisches bauen und leben in der natur geben,
    du kannst leicht catania erreichen oder eine wanderung zum vulkan etna unternehmen.
    für architekturinteressierte:
    hier gibts besonders gut erhalten, sehr große bauernhäuser für wein- und olivenanbau.
