GoEco - Desert Days

Organization Description: 

We build with hay bales; this method has three important advantages: environmental friendly material, thick walls that keep the heat and cold outside, a cozy soft look to the house.

The building process: preparing the foundations, building the constructions and the final part is earth plastering

The plastering is made of three layers: sculpting layer, clay layer, exterior plastering layer

We are using sand from the area close by and mixing it with clay, keeping a ratio of 1:3 sand: clay.

Through hard work, wondering and learning we create and build all by ourselves.

We will be happy to share our knowledge and experience. We build with hay bale; this method has three important advantages: environmental friendly material, thick walls that keep the heat and cold outside, a cozy soft look to the house.
