Matt Bua has spent two decades creating an artistic compound named 'B-Home' on 27 wooded acres in Catskill, New York, using salvaged materials to construct various living spaces and work areas. Listing for $269,000, the off-grid property reflects Bua's creative vision of intuitive building influenced by local vernacular architecture. His philosophy promotes sustainability and community contributions, with elements sourced from the environment. Bua’s work also explores historical connections through his book, 'Talking Walls,' which merges material culture with the idea of place, inspired by sustainable living practices.
Bua describes his approach as 'intuitive building,' working in response to the natural terrain, found materials, and vernacular structures of the northeast.
Bua's project originated with the idea to 'build one of every type of dwelling we could with materials that were easily at hand,' the artist tells Colossal.
