OJITOS TIERRA Y CIELO

EARTH AND SKY LITTLE EYE
For decades, this former root cellar and “hole in the ground” built with Casa Vieja preserved fruits and vegetables, grown in the pasture, through the winter. Under a sloping corrugated metal roof and a structure of painted wood vigas, the floor was layered with twelve inches of dirt on vintage sheet linoleum, on top of pine planks. Now this “regulation size” 4-1/2 tatami Japanese teahouse used as a Zendo meditation /yoga space has raw concrete walls and soaring fourteen foot ceilings with south-facing glass. This space is aptly named “Earth and Sky Little Eye,” as it is equally of the earth and of the sky.
