Our Natural Houses – Bluesberry Woods

People ask me sometimes where I learned to
build natural houses. I tell them in Kindergarten, when the table in
front of me was full of small things to build with, things we found in
the garbage or from nature. It was the playfulness that I can still
remember, how much joy that gave me. This is the main approach when I
build natural houses, intuitively but with enough common sense. I like
to share the experience of building and living in a natural house, as it
makes such a difference in how we experience life. In the last seven
years we had the pleasure to have hundreds of guests and tens of
volunteers whose eyes and senses were opened.

Other places and structures we’ve built in the last years.

The Bird's House

The cob (clay, sand straw and water) we used came from a few meters away, literally taken up from the earth.

Inside the Bird's House

It’s fully insulated, but the windows are single glass, that let the sunlight in easier to warm up the space inside.
The Bird’s House is available for longer stays and inquiries can be emailed at info@bluesberrywoods.com

The Coffee & Philosophy Cafe

A space for our guests to cook, eat and meet.

The Coffee & Philosophy Cafe

Built with recycled, natural and reclaimed materials

The Workshop

It has a reciprocal roof with a skylight that provides a spread-out natural light during the day. It was extremely low-cost and does not have heating but it gives me a lot of joy to have all my hand tools in one place.

					  My fifth time here. First time in May 2018. Got hooked! First time I went alone, second time with my sister and the last times with my spouse. All of... read more us love this place, Dennis and Ayet (we haven't yet met Frederike but I'm sure we will think the same of here).  It's hard to find the right words to give it justice, but I will try.

Welcoming and heartwarming people, soothing environement,  interesting and smart buildings, plenty of forests nearby to go hiking,have a relaxing swim in a pond in the middle of a forest approx.  3K walk away. Forests full of blueberry, wild raspberries and mushrooms.

There will be a visit next summer and more to come as long as Dennis, Ayet and Frederike will run this lovely place.

					  Highly recommend this beautiful place. Dennis and Ayet have created something magical out in the Swedish woods. We also loved the café/outhouse that they have built where we could cook... read more dinner, drink beer and have a shower the morning after. There's a tree-lined lake nearby where we had a swim that I would also recommend waking to.
