We are building our ecological home with five private bedrooms across the garden, to share our place with senior people. It will be a nursing home where guests will live a natural life, live with their pets, they could be involved in the garden care, growing flowers, butterflies, grow of our own vegetables, the cook of their food, they will enjoy nature, sun rise and set, where they could practice and admire visual arts and music. We will have 24 hr. nurse and a doctor for daily checkups. It is located 30 minutes from the big city of Puebla, Mexico.
We are making the walls with adobe blocks and straw bales, in self-construction, to make it affordable, thermic, a clean and safe environment to breathe and live surrounded by natural materials. The community wil be working with us, learning how to build their own houses. I am a single mother, Yoga teacher focused in Yoga for Senior, ecological industrial designer and a chorus singer; my son is a classical guitar player studying architecture and my twin daughters are in high school. In spite of financial difficulties we have kept on building our dream with our hands as a family. My grandparents and parents died young, my children could not share with their grandparents, and maybe that is why I have a special sensibility about senior people, a lack of caring for mine. These projects has taken all of my time and effort and have make us stronger as a family. My dream is to share the knowledge and experience I have about healthy living, healthy food, arts, music, and the beauty of nature and peace of mind with people who need it and want it.
This type of ecological construction has to be done between November and March, in this region, the dry season, because of the vulnerability of materials with rain. Due to delay of the structure construction, the house it is not ready yet and our budget is not enough to finish it. We need to move there soon, when our rental apartment contract will be due. We decided to make the first floor habitable and move to keep on building while living there.
We will appreciate your help and support on this family dream project that encourages helping others making a familiar community. Thank you!
