Hexagono

an artistic little house

A small hexagonal house of just 11 square meters. Its walls are build with local clay, whereas a different mixture and technique has been used on each of the sides, so as to experiment with the process and its result.
The floor is made with stones from the river, fixed with the same clay, and a coat of linseed oil make it water resistant.
We have done a very special experiment with its roof. A braided rope, covered by burlap, it has a coat of light clay mixed with the inner side of the pita (agave), junk of the river, perlite and clay milk. All this is covered by a plastic and a coat made out of lime, sand and goat hair.
