It has long been a dream of mine to create an environment using natural building materials that would give people the opportunity to experience sustainable architecture by themselves.
The perfect opportunity showed up: renovation of a vacation house, where I’ll be able to test my ideas out on paper as well as on site. I am endeavouring to renovate a small traditional stone house near Rovinj, the heart of Croatian Istria.
On the path of gaining knowledge and permits I have encountered many questions that were not easy to answer. Walking the unbeaten track of building with natural materials is not an easy assignment. In the hopes of helping the next enthusiast on the way to their dream building I decided to publish my experiences.
There is nothing like gaining knowledge through own experience. That is why I would like to provide people the possibility to participate in the workshops on natural materials. I would love it if you would join me to build the stone wall, learn about clay plasters or tadelakt.
I am looking forward to the day when I’ll be able to invite you to visit the completed house. Until then I will be more than happy if you will decide to share your ideas, thoughts and comments with me!
