Looking for a summerhouse










My father has this great piece of land in the south of France on top of a mountain. He has built a round stone hut in his own personal style - a mix of everything that he likes. It is a very poetic place where everything is made by love to materials, structures, form and nature.


I am looking for a 'summerhouse' to put on his land for me and my family and I think this could be a good option. It sure would be a bit more primitive from what we are used to

- but wouldn´t it have its charm?


It would go well with the peace, love and harmony atmosphere.

I love the yurts! I went on a yurt building course once - it was so interesting to learn how to build one and how to get the wood to bend into the various struts required to construct it - truly beautiful buildings! As At Swim Two Birds says they do start with the door, then the walls and then the roof struts before throwing the covers over. The doorway/hearth is of great importance....
