To realize our dream of sustainable living

In our part of the world sustainable living is about using less and sharing more.

Look first at what this 13 year old Canadian girl has to say in his speech to the UN:
The Girl Who silenced the world for 5 minutes

Our dream house is also about to adopt and spread knowledge about a sustainable way to build houses.

That’s why we have chosen an architect Bjorn Berge from Gaia Lista to draw the planes for our house.

That’s why we have chosen to build a house that will:

use a little, last long and do not pollute the environment.

That’s why the house built without energy-intensive products as glava, plastics, synthetic adhesives and paints, and other synthetic products that have short life and is hazardous waste afterwards.

That’s why the house has been located and designed so that it is closed and protective towards the north and open toward the south, extra well insulated and with space for solar collectors on the roof.

That’s why we have chosen to give priority to building a compact house that has an area efficient floor plan. It can accommodate an entire family and two bedsit dwellers, without being particularly large.

That’s why we have chosen to place emphasis on using natural materials of high quality, which will last a long time and withstand everyday wear and tear without being ugly and broken.

That’s why we dress the longest wall in earth-rock (compressed earth minerals). The earth-rocks will absorb and emit heat and humidity as required, and contribute to a good indoor climate, without any technical gadgets that go to pieces.

That’s why the house cost more than others, because the carpenters have never built a house that is constructed in this way before. But they're going to learn something new and sustainable.
