Course Overview

This extended master class workshop focuses on building a sacred geometry house from the foundation level to completion. The location is in Ballydehob in West Cork, Ireland.

Above is an image of the site which is surrounded by forrestry and has a view of the Atlantic Ocean. The site itself covers an area of a little more than 4 acres. It is a 7 minute drive from the nearby town of Bantry where there is live Irish music every weekend and about 8 minutes from Ballydehob village where there is also live music frequently.

In this workshop a sacred structure will be designed and built from start to finish, under the tutelage and expert guidance of a master geometer/builder. Particular attention and emphasis is being paid to show how to optimize building with curves and other natural forms.

This workshop is ideal for framers, builders, developers, architects, designers, as well as interested folk who want to discover the fastest and most optimal methods of building sacred architecture and creating sacred space.

On this workshop we are going to be building a two level house using a timer-frame structure.

Course Objectives

This workshop is intended to:

• Show how to design using sacred geometry
• Involve the participants in paratical building techniques
• Go through the whole design process, from initial client brief to completed designs
• Take the completed designs and implement them by building the design
• See the building of the structure from site clearing to completed structure
• Be fully involved in both the design and build stages
• Full intereaction and opportunity for questions with the master builder

Testimonials

“It was an incredible experience to be involved in the design and the actual building of a sacred geometry based structure. I saw from start to finish how it should be done!”

David Hughs, designer

I feel far more confident in what is possible to build. Curves and organic shapes were made remarkably easily on this workshop, that in itself was powerful but the speed at which it was done is truly astounding. Mel (the master builder) showed us all the tips and techniques he has built up over the years on building organic structures. Thanks Mike and Mel!
