This is the beautiful work of
Bjarne Wickstrom
in Gislev, Denmark. Bjarne is a natural builder who
specialises in Rorvøv (an interwoven reed lath), clay
plastering, cob and straw bale building, thatching and masonry
stoves. Just about all those skills have gone into making this
beautiful little house (10 m2 or 107 sq.ft.) for his son Mikkel. It's built
entirely from local materials even down to the exterior
plaster of clay with horse droppings and a final coat of lime.
Inside you will find a heated sleeping bench and a very happy
boy, now a bit older. |
