  Descripción

  Dear all,
  
  My name is Nizar, I am the founder of the project, the first low-cost house designed to revolutionize the construction industry by producing passive, low cost, fully self-sustainable dwellings with low carbon footprint, using a combination of ancestral building techniques and cutting edge eco-friendly architectural solutions.
  A combination of tradition, and modern scientific knowledge.
  
  We started the build in October 2017, with a workshop that lasted two months, than a second workshop spread from May to November 2018 and achieved with it the first story.
  A third workshop spread from May to November 2019 and achieved with it the second story shell.
  Now we are preparing for the construction of second story interior work on the setback terrace farm over the 1st story.
  A fourth workshop will be launched when the spring season opens its doors and will last until November 2020.
  
  On this season list :
  Adobe brick and Glass bottle walls
  Straw-bale insulation
  Earth plaster
  Carpentry
  etc.
  
  See you there,
  Cheers!

  How to get there:
  Once you get to Baskinta Village, take the road leading you to Al Nahr Restaurant (ask
  around). 150M prior to arriving to the restaurant, there is an alley that will lead you to Nizar
  Haddad’s house and land, where the construction and camping sites will be located.
  How to get to Baskinta Village from Beirut:
  Option 1: You have to get under Dora Bridge (North Highway), to the round-about. Right
  after the round-about, there are random buses that stop and are headed a bit everywhere
  north of Beirut. So you have to ask around. These buses usually come every hour (from
  6am to 8pm) and usually wait for about half an hour (bus to be full) before they take off. So
  ask around the buses that are stopped you will surely find one. This is definitely the cheapest
  way to get to Baskinta from Beirut, it will cost you around 3,500 LBP (less than $3) to get
  there.
  The bus will pass through the main round-about of the village named as “Stouh lbaladiyeh”,
  and will continue to the left for around 600 meter, or could just stop to the round-about.
  In both cases stop at the round-about of Baskinta and call us, to come and take you from
  there by car, otherwise if you have 45 min to spare, you can ask for Al Nahr restaurant and
  come by walk.
  Mainly from the round-about, you take the left road and keep going straight on the main road
  for 45 min.
  Option 2: Uber, Careem or any other taxi company will take you from Beirut to Baskinta and
  visa-versa for around $25, this is a good option if you are sharing and can afford it or have
  heavy luggage to carry.
  
  The Lebanese mountain trail passes by the village for people interested in hiking during their free time.
  The region is very green, crossed by a river. You can enjoy these beautiful landscapes.
