Dancing Rabbit is testament that tradition and evolution make for beautiful and sustainable homes. Naturally built homes here come in all different shapes and attitudes. Be it a rudimentary home for one or an elaborate design that grows to accommodate a family as it grows. There is great appreciation for building knowledge passed down through time.
Cob is a basic building material that has been used for thousands of years and forms a home that can be very long lasting.
Straw bales are a farming by-product with a relatively high r-value which makes it an economical and useful building material.
Recyling is HUGE. So Dancing Rabbit converted a grain bin left on the land into housing.
Timber framing is a time tested technique that uses less wood than conventional framing design.
Sometimes the best thing to do is reuse. This converted bus is a home that resembles found art.
A fine way to express art and beauty in a naturally built structure is with lime plaster, a preferable material to cement / stucco. plaster.
Dancing Rabbit is full of innovative and experimental means to live stainable, like my bricks made of clay, sand, and straw.
