Project eco-build is a school community project that is testing eco-building ideas so we can design and build a whole new school.

Our independent Steiner school has been operating for 13 years in Motueka. We now own a farm, so its time to get back to the land, back to nature and build a farm based school. First we want to learn about community eco-building, so we are building a small re-locatable office to test our ideas. The best way to learn is to do, and we are learning about materials, costs and project management. We are not testing designs at this stage, just the construction issues. Where ever possible we are choosing natural and healthy materials like timber, earth, straw and wool. Some of the materials are recycled or second hand. Help us complete the eco-build and take this first step toward New Zealand's greenest farm based school.
With love from the students, teachers, parents and grand parents of Motueka Rudolf Steiner School.
