NATURAL BUILDER AND TRAINER WITH 20-YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
“I developed an interest in natural construction from a young age, as I gathered branches in the forest and used them to build roofs over hollows. The passion grew deeper as I worked alongside my grandfather, removing nails from greenhouse boards and constructing boat sheds.
After pursuing studies in telecommunications in the city (earning a bachelor’s and master’s degree), I found myself once again drawn to old log buildings and curved walls.
In 2002, I began constructing my first log cabin with the guidance of a skilled master.
Savi ja põhuhoonetega tegin lähemat tutvust 2005. aastal, kui rändasin Euroopa ökokülades.
Olen ehitanud erinevad põhust, savist ja vanadest palkidest hooned loodusehitust propageerivas keskuses Hobukooli Park. Ehitatud on mitmed hooned väikestest põhupakkidest, aga 2 suuremat hoonet ka jumbo pakkidega. Väiksemad hooned on savi-paku tehnikas, cob tehnikas ja cob-punutise tehnikas. Enamuses savitöödes (ehitus ja viimistlused) olen kasutanud toorsavi otse eestimaa pinnasest. Kuid peenviimistluseks kasutan UKU krohvisegusid.
At the Estonian Academy of Arts, I have completed advanced training in architecture and restoration.
In addition to my domestic education, I have pursued training in Germany (Sieben Linden Ökodorf and Wangelin), Belgium (Straw bale construction in Riemst), Scotland (EDE course at Findhorn in 2006, EcoKit project 2012-2015), Czech Republic (Straw bale construction in 2010), Bulgaria (Permaculture in 2010), Lithuania (Straw bale construction in 2007), Italy (Japanese clay plaster in Milan in 2016), France (Clay construction in Amaco, Lyon in 2017 and 2019), Sweden (Permaculture in 2016 and 2023), and Austria (Straw bale construction in Ravelsbach in 2019).
