🏗️We're building our dream home by transforming an old stone barn into a livable space.
💎We're hand-chiseling and shaping stones to build the walls of our new room.
🌿We're using natural materials found on the property, like stones and wood, to create a sustainable living space.
🔨The process of shaping stones is repetitive but rewarding, making each piece a work of art.
🌄The finished home will be a beautiful blend of traditional stone architecture and modern design.
Why are you using stones to build the walls?
—We wanted to integrate the natural elements of the property and create a unique, sustainable living space.
How long does it take to shape each stone?
—It depends on the size and shape of the stone, but it can be a time-consuming process requiring precision and attention to detail.
Why did you choose to hand-chisel the stones instead of using machinery?
—Hand-chiseling allows for more control and precision, resulting in a more organic and artistic finish.
How do you source the materials for your home?
—We've been finding stones on the property and harvesting wood from the nearby mountains, ensuring that our home is built with locally sourced and sustainable materials.
What is your vision for the finished home?
—We want to create a beautiful blend of traditional stone architecture and modern design, incorporating natural elements and sustainable features throughout.
