We built our home in the fertile green forest near Nelson, B.C. Canada. Some folks call Nelson ” a little Berkeley” because of its vibrant arts community.
We’re excited to share about our experience with you! Feel free to browse through this site. You may want to “begin at the beginning” with the first post. Welcome. Enjoy! ~Rachel

Welcome to our home!

Thank you for posting the progress of your new home. Kevan has often talked to me about constructing the pre-fab walls and I have been in the shop and marveled at the insulation used and the precision used in building; but to see it all going together is a real treat. Kevan and his family and I have often talked of finding that little piece of property and building our two houses and mine would definitely be a round house from Mandala.
Hi Koteah! We love having Kevan as part of the family/team that is building this dream home. He’s an important and awesome member of the group. I hope that you all find a sweet piece of property and have the chance to experience the creativity , fun and beauty of building a Mandala! All the best, Rachel
