Hello! I'm Atulya.
Back in 2011, I ran out of money and ended up camping in a Turkish field. There was no power, no running water, and I had no building experience. I gathered a small group, and within six weeks we had erected the main structure of an earthbag house. You can read all about that adventure in The Mud Series of books I wrote. You'll want to start with Dirt Witch.
Just like many others, I fell in love with natural building. I also love experimenting with new techniques. For the last fifteen years I've been constructing and renovating out of mud and lime, perfecting skills, and sharing what I've learned both from my own efforts, and the inspiring projects of other people I meet.
I've come a long, long way since the mud days in Turkey. The vicissitudes of life (and a certain restlessness of spirit) have took me to Spain where I rebuilt a ruined barn. You can follow my latest exploits on Substack. I'm passionate about people building their own beautiful, natural and truly sustainable homes and reconnecting with the majestic planet we are a part of. If this speaks to you, may this website inspire you to begin your own journey.
On The Mud Home website, you can find a wealth of information on natural building, living off-grid, other people's inpsiring stories, and my own adventures.

There is masses of free information on this website. People have constructed whole houses from it. It's a gift and I'd love you to use it. But if you need more help and want to 'pick my brain' or get one-to-one advice, consider booking a consultation with me.
