30 Beautiful Doors That Seem To Lead To Other Worlds

When we set out to create a list of beautiful doors around the world, we were surprised to find just how many truly amazing doors there are out there that have been decorated with beautiful craftsmanship and artwork. The door is probably the single part of a building’s exterior that people will interact most frequently with, so if you want a building to look impressive up close, there’s probably no better way to do this than by having a beautiful door.

Tinkers Bubble an Off-Grid community in Somerset, England.

This is where gypsies brought their horses to water them at the bubble, the gypsy name for waterfall. They manage around 28 acres of douglas fir, larch, and mixed broadleaf woodland using horses, two person saws and a wood-fired steam-powered sawmill. Their pastures, orchards and gardens are organically certified. They press apple juice for sale, grow most of their own vegetables, keep chickens and honey bees selling their produce (jam, chutney, pickles, cider and wine) at local farmers markets.

Atypical Family Home: Navigable Houseboat in Amsterdam by BBVH Architects

The story of the project goes something like this: Artist Laura and restaurant owner John needed a bigger houseboat because of family expansion. Their eye fell on a 40 meters long Belgian Spitz Barge which had just retired from its long life of hauling freight over the European rivers. They wanted the ship to remain navigable so no alternation could be made to the engine, steering installation and all other aspects concerning the safety and certification of the ship.

The Motor-Cognitive Connection: Early Fine Motor Skills as an Indicator of Future Success by Bill Jenkins, Ph.D. Build a $300 underground greenhouse for year-round gardening (Video) Growers in colder climates often utilize various approaches to extend the growing season or to give their crops a boost, whether it's coldframes, hoop houses or greenhouses.

Greenhouses are usually glazed structures, but are typically expensive to construct and heat throughout the winter. A much more affordable and effective alternative to glass greenhouses is the walipini (an Aymara Indian word for a "place of warmth"), also known as an underground or pit greenhouse. First developed over 20 years ago for the cold mountainous regions of South America, this method allows growers to maintain a productive garden year-round, even in the coldest of climates. Here's a video tour of a walipini that shows what a basic version of this earth-sheltered solar greenhouse looks like inside:

Medieval Spanish ghost town now self-sufficient ecovillage. It’s a utopian fantasy- discover a ghost town and rebuild it in line with your ideals-, but in Spain where there are nearly 3000 abandoned villages (most dating back to the Middle Ages), some big dreamers have spent the past 3 decades doing just that. There are now a few dozen “ecoaldeas” - ecovillages - in Spain, most build from the ashes of former Medieval towns. One of the first towns to be rediscovered was a tiny hamlet in the mountains of northern Navarra. It was rediscovered in 1980 by a group of people living nearby who had lost their goats and “when they found their goats, they found Lakabe”, explains Mauge Cañada, one of the early pioneers in the repopulation of the town. The new inhabitants were all urbanites with no knowledge of country life so no one expected them to stay long.

At first, the homes weren’t habitable so they lived 14 in a large room. Self-Seeding Crops You’ll Never Need to Replant - Organic Gardening. One of the characteristics of a truly sustainable garden is that it produces at least some of its own seed. This is most often done when gardeners select, harvest and store seeds until the proper time for planting the following year. But some self-seeding crops produce seeds so readily that as long as you give them time to flower and mature, and set seed, you will always have free plants growing in your garden.

You can simply let the seeds fall where they are, or toss pieces of the seed heads into the corners of your garden, or whichever area you want them in — no harvesting, storing or replanting required. With most self-seeding vegetables, herbs and annual flowers, you’ll just need to learn to recognize the seedlings so you don’t hoe them down. Should seedlings require relocation, you can simply lift and move them — after all, they are sturdy field-grown seedlings. Traditional Moon Planting. Ce este agricultura biodinamică? Permaculture in the design of buildings. Much attention in Permaculture is directed to growing things and planning sustainable land-use. I invite you to think for a moment about Zone 0: the home. How can we apply Permaculture thinking here? My passion for a long time has been with the design and building of houses and work-spaces that are friendly to the occupants as well as the environment. I call it “Building as if people mattered”. What do I mean by that?

Here are 7 main qualities I hope to achieve with my designs: Connected to surroundings = fits into a Permaculture design of the land which includes looking at weather patterns, neighbors (human and animal) and other activities on the land. Touched by human hands: this interior is custom fit in all aspects. Developing a sustainable lifestyle is easy when houses are planned to support us. In the end our experience is enriched and we feel more connected to Nature. Sunrooms feel like being outside and give extra living space in shoulder seasons.
