14 days. 3,500m. One heritage.
Just wrapped a 14-day natural lime plaster workshop at Upper Mustang, Kamero's 1st high altitude project— the full three-coat system, natural pigments from the mountains, and a few generations of knowledge passed forward.
From soil sedimentation testing to pigment trials with Artist, from Himalayan goat-hair fibre experiments to 1,935 kg of hydrated lime carefully mixed and cured — this was 14 days of hands-on learning, cracked-and-repaired walls, and a whole lot of patience with the Kali Gandaki wind.
Lime plaster is a rare, high-value skill in Nepal. As of today, Upper Mustang has 12 new artisans who carry it.
Grateful to every hand that mixed, cured, and burnished with us.

For years, natural building has been compared to the cement industry using the same expectations of speed, cost, and scale. But what if natural building was never meant to function that way?
After spending the last 10 years closely involved in the natural building industry, this reflection explores the psychology behind natural homes, human comfort, modern construction, and why building naturally is often much more than just a construction choice.
It is about rethinking shelter itself.
