Toby & Matteo spent a summer building their Chalk Road cabin by the Little Ouse River in Suffolk, England. They had the best time working outside, getting to know the local owls, hares and deer, and watching the seasons change. They made the hut using Douglas Fir cladding and floorboards and finished it inside in clay plaster.

From Toby & Matteo:

Douglas fir has an understated beauty and inherent function. For our exterior cladding, it’s extreme durability against weather is matched aesthetically by the cloud-like patterns that appear when it is treated. On our decorative interior trims and sills, it’s rich peach and pink tones and tight end grain sit alongside warm clay plaster to create a palette of calming colors. On our floor, its toughness is vital in order to last a lifetime of heavy foot traffic - it also feels incredible to walk on. Our floorboards are 4cm thick and extra smooth. Naturally sound dampening, they replicate the feeling of walking on the wooden temple floors of Japan.

Our walls are insulated with British sheep’s wool and finished with natural clay plaster. Sheep’s wool is renewable, sustainable, breathable and naturally fire retardant. It also purifies the air by absorbing and neutralizing nitrogen and super dioxides.

After insulating we finish our walls with non-pigmented clay plaster. This creates a surface that is naturally beautiful, breathable and functional. Clay helps to moderate humidity, staying cool in the summer and holding in warmth during the winter.

All in it cost £35,000 ($45,000) to build.

Established on this day in 2000 and twice expanded, California Coastal National Monument protects more than 20,000 rocks, islands, exposed reefs and pinnacles along the California coastline, as well as 7,924 acres of public land onshore. While millions of people admire the monument from beaches, bluffs and watercraft, it also provides important habitat for seabirds and marine mammals. From environmental education to water recreation to simply enjoying a gorgeous Pacific sunset, the spectacular interplay of land and sea is an experience that creates lasting connections between people and nature.

Alexandra Kehayoglou crafts wool rugs as unique works of art, with a hand-tufting process that takes several months to complete. Using discarded thread from her family’s carpet factory in Buenos Aires, she describes her rugs as portals to memories, with a direct connection to her Greek grandparents’ past weaving of Ottoman-style carpets in Turkey.

She really creates some kind of day dream with her work. It’s not just beauitiful, it doesn’t make you think, you automatically get dragged into another world. Her work has impact.
