The Shelter ECODOM has been developed in a cooperation between the
Norwegian NGO "BRO", and the Russian NGO Svetlana and Skolnij Dom Ryzhkovo.
This cooperation started in 1997 and has as a practical result buildt several buildings
at Svetlana and Ryzhkowo, using natural building methodes from strawbales and clay.
BRO has competence in natural building methodes, and there is a growing interest in Russia, espessially of strawbale buildings. Svetlana / Ryzhkovo is one of the very few places in Russia where this building technology can be visited and seen.
As a result of seminars and discussions the idea of a modular ecohouse took form, based on the work and solutions developed in Norway; "Shelter". (see: www.aktiv- hus.no)
