Kuca iz bajke

Simon Dale je porodični čovjek iz Walesa, zapadnog dijela Velike Britanije. Njegov interes za samoodrživost i ekološku svijest vodio ga je prema tome da za sebe i svoju porodicu sagradi vlastiti dom – najslađe, najtoplije i najgostoljubivije mjesto za stanovanje koje možete zamisliti.




Koštala ga je svega 3.000 funti (nešto više od 3.600 eura). On kaže da su ga dva glavna razloga motivisala da napravi ovakvu kuću.

Prvi razlog je to što kaže da je zabavno i korisno živjeti svoj život na svoj vlastiti način. “Slijeđenje snova čini naše duše živim”, kazao je Dale.

Ovaj talentovani fotograf i umjetnik kaže da je drugi razlog želja da se pokaže da se može nešto učiniti kada je riječ o ekološkom stanju naše planete, koje je, po njegovim riječima – trenutno katastrofalno!

Prilikom izgradnje kuće, Dale nije koristio mašine, već ručne alate. Kuću grije drvima, a koristi i solarne panele kako bi iskoristio energiju sunca. Čitava kuća je “ekološka”, a nije u pitanju samo gradnja kuće već i način života, koji uključuje sadnju voća i povrća za svoje potrebe i slično.

Na fotografiji gore možete vidjeti Simona i njegovu supruga Jasmine Saville sa njihovo dvoje djece neposredno nakon što je kuća završena. Oni sada u njoj već žive nekoliko godina

U međuvremenu, sve se razvilo u projekt čitavog eko sela o kojem novosti možete pratiti na Daleovom web sajtu, a ima i sve više onih koji bi željeli slijediti njegov primjer.

Sad sam primetila da mi se kuca savrseno slaze uz avatar   

When Simon made a website about their straw bale home to share pictures with friends and family, it wasn't long before someone blogged about it and soon the world's media were intrigued by the beautiful house.

Here's a video from Under Currents about the media attention Simon and Jasmine have been so flattered by.

Part of the inspiration for Simon's home was his neighbour Tony Wrench who had pioneered the reciprocal roof Simon used in the design of his home. Simon also took inspiration from Lloyd Kahn's book 'Shelter'

Straw bale homes are ideal for cold climates. This video about Simon's straw bale woodland home in Wales presents Simon's philosophy about natural building and natural living. It's a philosophy he has in common with all natural builders.

Mr Dale, who has no experience in carpentry or architecture, created his sustainable family home using scrap wood for floors, materials scavenged from skips and by diverting water from a nearby spring.

And while he was doing the building work, his wife Jasmine Saville and their two toddler children camped in the nearby countryside.

He said: ‘Being your own have-a-go architect is a lot of fun and allows you to create and enjoy something which is part of yourself and the land rather than, at worst, a mass-produced box designed for maximum profit and the convenience of the construction industry.

‘Building from natural materials does away with producers’ profits and the cocktail of carcinogenic poisons that fill most modern buildings.’

The family struck lucky searching for a site for their dream project. In return for looking after the area, the owner of the woods gave them their plot for free.

After digging into the hillside, Mr Dale – with the help of his father-in-law, a builder – first constructed the building’s timber frame.

The roof, which came next, has a layer of straw bales for insulation and is covered with sheets of plastic to make it waterproof.

Finally it is covered with a layer of earth, which ensures the house blends perfectly into its surroundings.

Once the outer shell was complete, the family made an interior wall from straw bales stacked on dry-stone walling and staked together with hazel sticks.

Once the walls were up a sub-floor made from pallets was laid, with floorboards put down on top.

Miss Saville, writing on her husband’s website, said: ‘Some past experience, lots of reading and self-belief gave us the courage of our conviction that we wanted to build our own home in natural surroundings.

‘For us, one choice led to another and each time we took the plunge events conspired to assist us in our mission. There were times of stress and exhaustion, but definitely no regrets and plenty of satisfaction.’

As well as being made from sustainable material the Hobbit house, as it is dubbed by locals, has lime plaster on its walls instead of cement, a compost toilet, a fridge cooled by air from beneath the foundations and solar panels for power.

Mr Dale said: ‘This sort of life is about living in harmony with both the natural world and ourselves, doing things simply and using appropriate levels of technology.’

Since building his house, Mr Dale is following the design to construct the first home in the Lammas Village, Wales’s first eco-development.

Odlicno!

Simon ima svoj blog gde je malo detaljnije objasnio sve i stalno dopunjuje jer je nastavio rad na eko kucama

http://www.simondale.net/hobbit.htm  

a tragajuci za njim otkrila sam celu grupu koja se bavi iznalazenjem najboljih starinskih nacina , primenljivih danas , gradjenja eko kuca koje imaju komplet udobnost kao i danasnje a opet pruzaju nesto vise .

Ruski model malih basta- resenje za ishranu sveta!

Ima puno tekstova na cirilici vrlo interesantnih al sta vredi kad ne znate citati
a bas da prevodim oduzelo bi previse vremena   

U osnovi je to ceo projekat gde covek ponovo ulazi u kontak sa zemljom i prirodom vracajuci se
istinskim vrednostima dostojnim coveka kao vrhunca tvorevine
Do 1999 je u Rusiji napravljeno oko 35 miliona malih porodicnih parcela , zastupljeno oko 105 miliona ljudi tj oko 70% tadasnjeg broja stanovnistva .
Istina da je to mnogo lakse izvesti u onolikom prostranstvu .
Model kucnog vrta je toliko zastupljen i uspesan da iznosi polovinu poljoprivredne proizvodnje

''Zvoneci kedri Rusije'' ili knjige o Anastasiji , usamljenici iz sibirske tajge je zbirka od 10 knjiga Vladimira Megrea koje su imale velikim odjek u celom svetu

This is the roundhouse at Bodrifty Farm [more at www.naturalhomes.org/bodriftyfarm.htm] in Cornwall, England where excavations in the 1950s showed that there was an Iron Age settlement there of eight roundhouses. This is a reconstruction of one of the roundhouses at the farm. It's different from most timber roundhouses because its walls are stone slabs with a roundwood timber and thatch roof.

ja bi volio da su kuce od cokolade prozori od marmelade...taman ostaris i pojedes zadnji komad namjestaja...uh sto ogladnih sad bi pojeo cebe...idem si skuvat kafu...

ovima sam vec nasla zamerku ... garant se bube legu u slami
al ajd' mozda se to moze nekom drugom idejom srediti

taman sam stukla ciniju sladoleda i setila se da to bez struje za hladjenje, tesko da bi islo u ovakvim kucama ... ili se moramo vratiti prirodi

nije problem kucu sagradit i od slame samo trebas dobit sto pedeset iljada dozvola. onda ti treba energecki sertifikat... rvacka definitivno nije mjesto za gradit kuce na kojima fasisticka vlast nemoze zaradit.

e to je tacno ... i ovde treba najmanje 3 meseca juriti dozvole mada stalno obecavaju da ce skratiti proceduru

Anabela ::e to je tacno ... i ovde treba najmanje 3 meseca juriti dozvole mada stalno obecavaju da ce skratiti proceduru

ja im za tri meseca toliko izjebem matere da dodju u napast da me fizicki likvidiraju.

haha... ovde te ni ne konstatuju kad ih nesto pitas ... al vrlo dignu pogled ako im nesto doneses

Anabela ::haha... ovde te ni ne konstatuju kad ih nesto pitas ... al vrlo dignu pogled ako im nesto doneses

vrlo dignu pogled i zakolutaju ocima kad mene vide bez da sam ista reko.

Off-grid solar shower at Channel Rock, Canada

Showering outdoors is a wonderful experience. You don't only shower in water but in the scent of flowers too.

This is a passive solar shower at Channel Rock, a conservation and permaculture ecoVillage centre on Cortes Island in Canada. The water tank, which is heated by a solar panel on the left, is in the shingled tower behind the wattle shower cubicle.

There are two types of passive solar heating; a storage tank that collects heat directly from the sun or a heater which uses convection, known as a thermosiphon, to heat the water tank.

The thermosiphon uses a solar water heater panel to collect heat from the sun and move water against gravity into an insulated water tank.

You can see how this works in the video below where a splash of red dye shows how the water circulates though the storage tank.
