Earth Architecture

Earth is used for architectural construction for thousands of years.
The recent search for sustainability has given a renewed attention
towards earth architecture, for its environmental-friendly
and economic building materials.

The building was primarily designed as a space to process the cannabis and flax cultivated on the land, as well as the wild medicinal plants growing in the 20% reserved area. Construction began in 2008 and was completed in 2018 (though, due to working only during the summer months, it technically took 5 years).
This project was made possible thanks to Antonio Carmelo, the architect; Christina, the project manager; Danny Fuzzi, the head carpenter; Dzjtan, the lead mason; the many WWOOF volunteers; and the multitude of strays who stayed. Our deepest gratitude goes to the Etruscan spirits in the cosmos for their guidance, support, and permission."
