Building a house around a stove

Old farm buildings and a lawn, with a red car parked at the left.

The original site It was a great comission: demolish the old structure, construct a traditional bake-stove, and a shad over it. We finally kept some of the original construction, and added a sauna to the original idea...

A green branch with colored ribbons Reached the highest point of the new structure. The proud, hardworking team poses for a photo: a mud-smith, a carpenter and a real jack-of-all-trades cow-boy.

A new wooden house with a tiled roof, chimney and covered porch.

From backyard The lower building was part of the original, got a facelift: inside and outside.

The sauna entrance with wooden stairs, a door and a cart wheel.

Sauna entrance Used some old stuff: doors, stairs, gives some flavor immediately.

Inside the sauna, wooden benches and a black stove beneath a small window.

Sauna interior Jackpot: hot like hell, as simple as possible.

The covered wooden porch of the house, open at the sides.

Hm? What is under the roof?

An outdoor masonry stove with a white dome and brick base beside the house.

Highlight of the building Made out of old bricks, mud and the unbeatable horse dung. This enviromentally friendly material acts like the steel in concrete. Multifunctional, traditional stove: cooks-bakes-boils.

Yummmmy cake! It was a great comission in a beautiful area, with good & yummy results. I'm grateful for the opportunity.
