Corn Crib

The corn crib (or hay crib) is arranged for sleeping in hay (up); down there is space for firewood or other things.

House Under Stars - view to NW

On the other side of House Under Stars there are places for the morning coffee, smoking or... for drying equipments :) When we were taking the images, a group of speologists camped in the tents, next to the house.
The view is to the NW side of Apuseni Mountains, Codru Moma.

House Under Stars - inside

There is the most comfortable of the houses: a large room, a large bed, a sleeping place up-floor and a bathroom with all the facilities (hot water etc.). The heathing is ensured by a wood-plant, common for all the places.
The traditional aspect is kept as much as possible (including objects). The small house (with an excellent view) is wonderful for a family with children.

House Under Stars - outside

There is the exterior, 1st part; all the restorations were done in respect for tradition, with old materials when possible (the materials were treated, of course, with special non-toxic solutions).
Gina (from ARIN) is our "guide" in this series of short movies ;)

House Under Stars, backyard

The House Under Stars were in the past the pig-pen. In the backyard of the house there is a small platform for wastes, untill they are taken away. There is respected the principle of "waste separation".

Hay barn, outside

Outside the spaces were arranged in order to offer a minimum of hygienic facilities when there are many persons accomodated around (including tents): washstands and toilets; also, there are some other depository spaces.
Between the Hay Barn and the New House there is a playground for children - but children have anyway lots of trees, to climb in and eat local fruits ;)

Hay Barn, introduction

This is the former hay barn; after renovation is used to be a sleeping place; right now, it kept the sleeping place up-floor. Down there is a depository space for different tools and also a space for leisure in the rainy days. One of the walls (opposite to the stair) is a climbing wall.
