RE: Building with Nature in Mind | Musing on Natural Building
Such a beautiful Post. You know how I feel about Lloyd kahns series .... we poured over those books for hours and hours. There is something so sensual and real about natural buildings. I like the way you can see the Earth within them. The stones the rocks the clay the woods. Lucky to live in a place without ridiculous building regulations. That's why we always built homes on Wheels because no one could tell us what to do with those spaces. We always had a dream of living in a house like the ones that you built but it's not possible where we live. However the sauna is still on the cards as I think we could probably get away with that one.
I love the Shelter books! "There is something so sensual and real about natural buildings" YES YES YES~! I feel you on this so hard. Most buildings are just so human. It's a refresher to step into somethings nature created not ppl. Although as builders we can skillfully arrange elements to make us happy and comfortable.
The lack of codes here was a MAJOR draw to move (that and water, green spaces, low population, distance from cities and affordability...)
The wheels are a great way to skirt the issue. luckily wood is light and lends itself to mobility. OOO< get away with it. is there a outbuilding section in the codes. I know some places I've lived didn't require permitting for building less than say 30 sq m. I really hope you get to build the sauna of your dreams. Saunas are a much needed healing source for us all.
Yes there are some out buildings that you can build. Now it's a matter of finding a materials and the time. When you have finished yours can you come and help us build ours? you are quite welcome to stay in our bus ...and we might even feed you.xxx
I love Lloyd Kahn too!!!
