00:00:13,805 --> 00:00:18,345
In Sweden, when you talk about
homein a more general way,
3
00:00:18,435 --> 00:00:21,055
we say "hem."
4
00:00:21,146 --> 00:00:22,726
But your own home is "hemma."
5
00:00:24,066 --> 00:00:25,726
It's your special home.
6
00:00:27,778 --> 00:00:30,448
We call this place Naturhus
7
00:00:30,531 --> 00:00:33,831
because I built my
houseinside a greenhouse.
8
00:00:35,744 --> 00:00:38,374
So I have Mediterranean climate in Sweden.
9
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:42,383
It's like having Italy around the house.
10
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:46,208
Sometimes when you build a
house, you push nature away.
11
00:00:46,296 --> 00:00:48,416
You protect yourself from the nature.
12
00:00:48,507 --> 00:00:52,637
But this is like morewe invite
the nature to the house.
13
00:00:58,016 --> 00:01:00,766
A nature house is all built around
14
00:01:00,853 --> 00:01:04,403
trying to enhance the
interactionbetween people and plants.
15
00:01:07,693 --> 00:01:10,073
A home is not only like a shelter...
16
00:01:11,238 --> 00:01:13,368
it can also be a place to feed you,
17
00:01:15,242 --> 00:01:17,492
both with food and energy.
18
00:01:20,622 --> 00:01:24,422
I have always wantedto
build a house for my family.
19
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:28,962
It was a dream.
20
00:01:29,047 --> 00:01:33,467
But when I started out, I
didn'tunderstand that a home can heal you.
21
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:56,405
Should I go and get some herbs?
22
00:01:57,242 --> 00:01:59,162
Look what I've got!
23
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:05,377
This for you.
24
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:06,839
And this for me.
25
00:02:08,044 --> 00:02:11,344
We've lived in this housefor
more than ten years now.
26
00:02:11,423 --> 00:02:12,423
My children...
27
00:02:12,883 --> 00:02:15,683
they haven't really
experienceda life without it.
28
00:02:15,761 --> 00:02:18,101
Breakfast is the most important meal.
29
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:20,060
-According to whom?-Me!
30
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:22,229
And Mom.
31
00:02:22,935 --> 00:02:25,095
Our family is very close.
32
00:02:25,187 --> 00:02:28,937
And I think I have itfrom
when I was growing up.
33
00:02:29,024 --> 00:02:32,284
I wanted to havea very
strong family connection.
34
00:02:32,945 --> 00:02:35,155
Me and Rosemary, we have three children.
35
00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:38,776
Johannes, he's 14 years old, soon be 15.
36
00:02:39,535 --> 00:02:41,655
And we have Natalie and Jonatan.
37
00:02:41,745 --> 00:02:45,115
They are twins, 18 years old, soon be 19.
38
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:48,537
Jonatan is our special child.
39
00:02:48,961 --> 00:02:50,501
He has autism.
40
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:57,853
Being a twin with Jonatan is likea
really, really strong, special bond.
41
00:02:57,928 --> 00:03:03,478
So I feel a huge responsibility,
and I'm very protective about him.
42
00:03:04,434 --> 00:03:06,944
I always say that he is my better half.
43
00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:11,324
Jonatan is highly sensitive.
44
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,650
He feels a lot more than normal people.
45
00:03:16,822 --> 00:03:21,372
And we have an environmentthat is
very different from other houses.
46
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:26,670
Being close to natureand
living in this little bubble
47
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:29,918
helped us a lot to grow as people.
48
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:38,545
Something happenswhen you
come into a nature house.
49
00:03:38,969 --> 00:03:41,139
There's a special silence inside.
50
00:03:41,597 --> 00:03:44,427
You feel calm, relaxed.
51
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:49,902
The architecture drives the
awarenessof the environment as a whole.
52
00:03:50,522 --> 00:03:54,192
Just being very closeto that
sort of cycle of life...
53
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:58,490
that's very beneficial for the
mind, for the soul.
54
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:10,457
Me and Rosemary have beendreaming
together for a long time.
55
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:15,132
When I met Anders,
we lived in the same apartment.
56
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:18,256
He was a footballer.
57
00:04:18,341 --> 00:04:22,801
Well, he was 19and was
very fit and very charming.
58
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:26,020
Rosemary, she had a fresh way of thinking,
59
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:28,559
and she just fueled my inner thoughts.
60
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:34,479
Anders is an engineer,
and he thinks like an engineer.
61
00:04:35,067 --> 00:04:36,857
He has very big visions,
62
00:04:36,944 --> 00:04:40,164
and I have more family goals.
63
00:04:40,239 --> 00:04:41,699
I'm quite technical,
64
00:04:41,782 --> 00:04:46,042
and she is morelike a person with feelings.
65
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:50,665
We are really a complement to each other.
66
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:52,294
We always say,
67
00:04:52,376 --> 00:04:55,996
"As long as we just have the same
goal, we are very strong together."
68
00:04:57,714 --> 00:05:01,644
Before we had the children,
we had a dream of building our house.
69
00:05:02,261 --> 00:05:05,761
But for seven years,
we were just putting away salary.
70
00:05:05,848 --> 00:05:08,178
We bought the land in 1996,
71
00:05:08,267 --> 00:05:12,727
and then we started to applyfor
a building permit on a new house.
72
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:16,897
It was not meant to bea
house in a greenhouse,
73
00:05:16,984 --> 00:05:19,244
just an ordinary log cabin.
74
00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:24,695
We wanted to have an old style,
made in the old way of doing it.
75
00:05:25,492 --> 00:05:29,002
It's like walking intoa
house from the 18th century.
76
00:05:31,582 --> 00:05:35,422
I really love the old
styleof Swedish log houses.
77
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:41,795
They are built of materialsthat
can be found around you.
78
00:05:41,884 --> 00:05:46,604
So I wanted to know how to make
a housedirectly from the forest.
79
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:52,186
I'm not an architect.
I'm not a building engineer.
80
00:05:52,769 --> 00:05:55,269
But for me,
it's really to learn something new.
81
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:56,605
I'm very interested in that.
82
00:05:56,690 --> 00:06:00,440
And if somebody else can do
it, I think I could do it--
83
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:04,317
maybe not as good, but quite as good.
84
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:14,498
It took me many yearsto build the log house
85
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:16,423
because I made it by hand.
86
00:06:17,961 --> 00:06:20,421
Mostly myself and my father.
87
00:06:21,298 --> 00:06:24,548
I grew up helping my father to fix houses.
88
00:06:24,635 --> 00:06:28,425
He was an excellent
craftsmanwith an artistic eye.
89
00:06:29,223 --> 00:06:33,063
He could really put his love into details.
90
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:39,065
When we make the corners,
the logsshould be fitting quite precisely.
91
00:06:40,317 --> 00:06:43,197
The hard thing is to put
it togetherin a nice way.
92
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:46,870
You drill holes through the logs,
93
00:06:46,949 --> 00:06:51,289
connecting the new logwith
the other ones with a dowel.
94
00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:53,040
There's no nails at all.
95
00:06:54,957 --> 00:06:57,417
Nature House is a family project.
96
00:06:57,501 --> 00:07:01,961
And my father, he's been my best
friendduring the whole building period.
97
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:06,089
Always worrying.
He's seen more obstacles than me.
98
00:07:07,636 --> 00:07:09,506
Anders!
99
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:13,430
Anders, that's enough now.
You've finished the work.
100
00:07:13,892 --> 00:07:15,312
Okay, I'm coming!
101
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:22,148
Anders is very determined as a person.
102
00:07:22,651 --> 00:07:23,691
Nothing stops him.
103
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:28,824
He's one of those people that getsso
caught up in the things he wants to do
104
00:07:28,907 --> 00:07:32,617
that he forgets to eat,
he forgets to sleep.
105
00:07:32,703 --> 00:07:35,163
He gets so caught up in, like, his work.
106
00:07:36,748 --> 00:07:37,918
It was stressful.
107
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:39,962
It was a long process.
108
00:07:40,711 --> 00:07:45,171
But sometimes you have to be stupid
enoughto start this kind of project.
109
00:07:45,257 --> 00:07:48,837
And then you have to be persistent,
brave enough to finish them.
110
00:07:55,601 --> 00:08:00,231
I got my brother-in-law, Rupert,
to help me bring logs from the forest
111
00:08:00,314 --> 00:08:02,024
to build the log house.
112
00:08:25,714 --> 00:08:28,724
In the middle of the building
process, we had the twins.
113
00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:33,434
Trying to workand be a
father of two children
114
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:36,984
and build a very complicated,
time-consuming house,
115
00:08:37,058 --> 00:08:38,348
it's the tough part.
116
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:46,190
He had a full-time job at a hospital,
117
00:08:46,276 --> 00:08:49,066
and then he workedwhenever
he had time over.
118
00:08:51,198 --> 00:08:53,238
There wasn't much sleeping.
119
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,749
Then I had the night shiftwith the babies.
120
00:08:57,955 --> 00:09:01,825
Jonatan, he was, like,
scared to fall asleep when he was small.
121
00:09:01,917 --> 00:09:05,457
So I slept with Jonatan,
calming him every night.
122
00:09:05,546 --> 00:09:08,166
We fall asleep like 4:00 in the morning,
123
00:09:08,257 --> 00:09:09,677
and then I went to work.
124
00:09:10,968 --> 00:09:14,008
I remember it wasvery
dangerous driving home.
125
00:09:14,096 --> 00:09:15,886
I was so tired.
126
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:20,774
I was really afraid... driving.
127
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:23,645
This was very difficult for us
128
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:26,860
'cause we didn't have
any diagnosisfor Jonatan.
129
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:31,204
We didn't know really how to meet
himor treat him or what to do.
130
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,620
It was very,
very frustratingfor both of us.
131
00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:40,293
I realized I won't finish the
house, so I stopped building.
132
00:09:43,333 --> 00:09:46,673
Before children,
you have a goal and you just go there.
133
00:09:47,296 --> 00:09:48,586
Then there comes children,
134
00:09:48,672 --> 00:09:52,802
and then everything is
lost, like a stormy sea.
135
00:09:55,554 --> 00:09:58,224
You have to changethe
way of reaching the goal.
136
00:09:58,891 --> 00:10:00,731
And the goal was quite clear.
137
00:10:01,185 --> 00:10:03,395
We needed the house for the children.
138
00:10:05,981 --> 00:10:08,781
After a year, I wanted to start again.
139
00:10:09,484 --> 00:10:11,494
But it was raining and windy,
140
00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:16,120
and it was really hard to find timeto
build in these harsh conditions.
141
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:25,328
I was looking for tents and a
coverto put over the building place.
142
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:28,915
One day, I was reading a book
143
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:32,224
describing a house inside
a greenhousein Stockholm.
144
00:10:33,175 --> 00:10:38,505
The book is called På akacians
villkor,"To Live Together With Nature."
145
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:41,392
And the idea came from Bengt Warne.
146
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,349
In the mid-'70s,
there was this guy, Bengt Warne,
147
00:10:45,437 --> 00:10:50,227
who basically just built this
greenhouseon top of a regular building,
148
00:10:50,317 --> 00:10:53,317
and thus created a very nice climate.
149
00:10:53,403 --> 00:10:55,413
And that was really an eye-opener.
150
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:58,159
The way to extend the season
151
00:10:58,617 --> 00:11:01,247
in order to enjoya more
Mediterranean climate
152
00:11:01,328 --> 00:11:03,078
felt very radical.
153
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:10,050
When I saw a house inside a
greenhouse, I was excited and curious.
154
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:12,134
I showed it to Rosemary, and she said,
155
00:11:12,214 --> 00:11:14,934
"I've been in a house like
that, and it was lovely."
156
00:11:15,384 --> 00:11:19,184
When I was 15, 16, I lived in Iceland,
157
00:11:19,263 --> 00:11:22,353
and I went into
somethingthat looked similar.
158
00:11:22,432 --> 00:11:23,732
It was a greenhouse.
159
00:11:24,226 --> 00:11:29,306
I just remembered the feeling, and I
said, "It can be very, very good."
160
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:32,395
So we just adopted the idea.
161
00:11:33,902 --> 00:11:35,742
Now there was weather protection.
162
00:11:36,488 --> 00:11:39,198
It's not difficult.
It's not very expensive.
163
00:11:39,283 --> 00:11:43,583
You have to plan a little bit more,
andyou will have a lot more benefits back.
164
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:52,459
I can tell there's a car coming.
165
00:11:54,298 --> 00:11:55,838
I'll hold you then and wait.
166
00:12:01,763 --> 00:12:03,643
We have this lake called Vänern...
167
00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:06,725
third biggest lake in Europe.
168
00:12:07,352 --> 00:12:09,812
Freshwater, quite cold.
169
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:13,400
We swim in there almost every
dayduring the summer season.
170
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:16,570
The lake is very good for Jonatan.
171
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:18,357
Let's take our shoes off.
172
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:23,407
For Jonatan, it's very healthyto go
down our little path to the lake.
173
00:12:24,161 --> 00:12:25,831
He loves to go into the water
174
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:29,633
'cause you can feelwhere your
body is connected to nature.
175
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:34,460
And this time together with
Jonatanis so important for Anders.
176
00:12:37,841 --> 00:12:40,391
Jonatan had his diagnosis of autism
177
00:12:40,469 --> 00:12:45,139
before his birthdaywhen he was
just turning four years old.
178
00:12:45,849 --> 00:12:48,189
The Nature House wasn't finished then,
179
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:51,858
and I worried about how am
I goingto find his space,
180
00:12:51,939 --> 00:12:54,529
how am I going to make him happy.
181
00:12:55,442 --> 00:12:57,692
We started with all these questions,
182
00:12:57,778 --> 00:13:01,068
and everything went upside-down in a way.
183
00:13:03,492 --> 00:13:07,202
Anders, he had so high
expectations of Jonatan,
184
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:12,667
and the disappointment of him not
beingthe son he was wanting him to be
185
00:13:13,043 --> 00:13:14,713
was very hard for him.
186
00:13:17,089 --> 00:13:18,549
When you have a child,
187
00:13:18,632 --> 00:13:24,602
you can see yourself playing football,
reading books, discuss this and that,
188
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:26,680
going on an adventure together...
189
00:13:27,349 --> 00:13:31,439
And then when your childis
acting very differently,
190
00:13:31,979 --> 00:13:37,279
you understandall these
dreams were just... dreams
191
00:13:37,901 --> 00:13:40,491
with no option to fulfill them.
192
00:13:43,073 --> 00:13:44,373
Now I really want to get out.
193
00:13:44,449 --> 00:13:45,779
-Go back?-Yeah.
194
00:13:45,868 --> 00:13:46,908
Should we swim back?
195
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:48,414
No, stop it.
196
00:13:49,079 --> 00:13:53,789
I was looking for so much funin the
future, together with my son.
197
00:13:55,627 --> 00:13:57,837
To remake your dreams,
198
00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:00,470
that can be very, very, very hard.
199
00:14:01,008 --> 00:14:05,508
So, yeah, I was... completely devastated
200
00:14:05,596 --> 00:14:08,926
for a long time then.
201
00:14:13,061 --> 00:14:14,611
I'm leaving now.
202
00:14:14,688 --> 00:14:16,018
Okay, I'll be right there.
203
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:30,541
We lived, in a way, day-to-day.
204
00:14:30,621 --> 00:14:34,121
And when we faced difficulties,
Anders went up to the house.
205
00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:36,673
And I was fine about it.
206
00:14:37,169 --> 00:14:40,509
"You're building our house.
I'll take care of Jonatan."
207
00:14:41,173 --> 00:14:44,593
In a way, I think it made Anders focus
208
00:14:44,676 --> 00:14:47,886
on how he couldbuild a
future for the family.
209
00:14:51,642 --> 00:14:56,192
Jonatan was seven yearswhen we
moved into the Nature House.
210
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:59,611
And it meant so much
morethan I could imagine.
211
00:15:00,150 --> 00:15:04,570
But it took some years before he
couldfind his place into this house.
212
00:15:08,909 --> 00:15:10,079
When we planned the house,
213
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,750
we wanted to have a big living
roomwhere we could be together.
214
00:15:14,331 --> 00:15:16,961
And we wanted to have smaller bedrooms
215
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:19,962
so the children can
havetheir own little space.
216
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:23,549
But Jonatan didn't acceptthis little room.
217
00:15:24,466 --> 00:15:28,466
At the time, I didn't realize
how space and environment
218
00:15:28,554 --> 00:15:32,224
was so importantfor people that has autism.
219
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:34,637
So he just chose a TV room,
220
00:15:35,435 --> 00:15:38,555
and it turned out to be his roomafter that.
221
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,734
And then we needed to have something
222
00:15:42,818 --> 00:15:47,448
that was isolating the soundsfrom
the kitchen to his room.
223
00:15:48,866 --> 00:15:52,576
Jonatan's door, my grandfather, he made it.
224
00:15:52,661 --> 00:15:54,501
And we all sort of designed it.
225
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:57,790
But he made it very, like, detailed.
226
00:15:58,417 --> 00:16:01,747
The little floweris like
a symbol for our family.
227
00:16:02,546 --> 00:16:06,336
It's a real thick door made of solid wood.
228
00:16:08,427 --> 00:16:10,757
Jonatan's very proud of it.
229
00:16:11,889 --> 00:16:13,469
It's very practical for our family,
230
00:16:13,557 --> 00:16:17,307
'cause he can close it when he needsto
be on his own and have his space.
231
00:16:22,191 --> 00:16:25,861
Rosemary had asked me to make
this houseto have these plants.
232
00:16:25,944 --> 00:16:27,204
"What can we do with them?"
233
00:16:28,113 --> 00:16:30,703
"We could probably get healthier.
234
00:16:31,116 --> 00:16:34,946
We could probably adjust the
waywe are living and eating."
235
00:16:37,539 --> 00:16:39,169
Yeah... could have that one.
236
00:16:39,249 --> 00:16:40,249
Perfect.
237
00:16:41,418 --> 00:16:46,088
In the Nature Houseis the climate
envelope, or climate shell.
238
00:16:46,924 --> 00:16:49,934
The space in betweenthe log
house and the greenhouse
239
00:16:50,427 --> 00:16:52,217
is not as cold as outside.
240
00:16:53,222 --> 00:16:56,772
Because of that,
the growing season is like double.
241
00:16:57,643 --> 00:17:01,233
That's the most important thing.
Longer summer.
242
00:17:02,856 --> 00:17:06,526
Along with the log house,
I'm building the vegetable garden.
243
00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:08,779
We started to have bigger discussions.
244
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,116
We have a greenhouse, we have plants,
245
00:17:13,617 --> 00:17:16,577
we have water and we have waste.
246
00:17:16,662 --> 00:17:20,002
Why not connect the sewage
systemto the plant system?
247
00:17:24,169 --> 00:17:25,129
Okay,
248
00:17:25,212 --> 00:17:27,132
so let's go inside and check.
249
00:17:28,590 --> 00:17:30,930
-Thanks.-Let's check out the new system.
250
00:17:34,388 --> 00:17:35,968
Exciting! Okay, okay.
251
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:38,096
So system two is rebuilt...
252
00:17:39,017 --> 00:17:42,437
We're in the very heart of Anders's house.
253
00:17:42,521 --> 00:17:45,151
The eco-house wastewater system.
254
00:17:45,232 --> 00:17:47,442
Or I should say "the
sustainable wastewater system."
255
00:17:48,026 --> 00:17:51,946
My work with Anders startedwhen I
made an assessment of his house.
256
00:17:52,030 --> 00:17:55,910
In the beginning, I was interestedin
the actual efficiency of the system.
257
00:17:55,993 --> 00:17:58,413
Let's jump up and take a sample.
258
00:17:59,246 --> 00:18:00,956
-This is B cup.-Go for it.
259
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:04,129
We have an eco-cycle systemin Nature House.
260
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:05,289
Great.
261
00:18:06,044 --> 00:18:08,174
We take the wastewater from the toilets...
262
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:11,376
and treat it in the basement.
263
00:18:12,593 --> 00:18:14,343
The water that's been cleaned,
264
00:18:14,428 --> 00:18:18,218
we pump it up to water all
the plantsin the greenhouse.
265
00:18:19,308 --> 00:18:22,478
Now that the wastewater is
treated, it's not really a waste.
266
00:18:23,228 --> 00:18:26,568
It's actually a perfect
sourceof all the nutrients
267
00:18:26,648 --> 00:18:31,068
that we need to have a fertilizerfor
a sustainable agricultural system.
268
00:18:31,904 --> 00:18:35,994
In my brain, it's just like
nutrition for the plants.
269
00:18:36,074 --> 00:18:37,374
I eat what's from the plants.
270
00:18:37,451 --> 00:18:39,661
I don't eat the plant's nutrition.
271
00:18:39,745 --> 00:18:42,075
I eat the actual tomatoes.
272
00:18:42,164 --> 00:18:45,714
Then we pump the water outto plant bed one.
273
00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:47,462
And then it runs back here.
274
00:18:48,003 --> 00:18:50,173
We did this one-year screeningof the house,
275
00:18:50,255 --> 00:18:52,835
and it turned out it was
actuallya really efficient system.
276
00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:59,180
Every week I take samplesand
tests of the water.
277
00:19:01,099 --> 00:19:05,019
I try to imitate nature's processes.
278
00:19:07,356 --> 00:19:10,976
I don't thinkl would want it any other way.
279
00:19:11,068 --> 00:19:16,868
I'm not victimized by my dadand
his visions for this house.
280
00:19:17,574 --> 00:19:22,164
To me it was just a
questionof becoming more aware
281
00:19:22,663 --> 00:19:25,253
on what chemicals I put in the system.
282
00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:29,880
I like makeup.
283
00:19:29,962 --> 00:19:33,302
I like products.
I use shampoo, I use conditioner.
284
00:19:33,382 --> 00:19:37,472
And I don't want to eat the
chemicalsthat are in those things.
285
00:19:38,428 --> 00:19:43,268
So for me it was like starting to
findalternatives that are organic,
286
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:46,440
that are more safe to use in the system.
287
00:19:47,563 --> 00:19:50,073
You can build a house with a greenhouse,
288
00:19:50,148 --> 00:19:51,478
but it's not a nature house
289
00:19:51,567 --> 00:19:55,397
if it's not the whole
conceptwith the recycling system.
290
00:19:56,154 --> 00:19:59,374
We have our wastewater,
and it contains everything that we need
291
00:19:59,449 --> 00:20:03,079
to have a sustainable and
long-termsustainable agricultural system.
292
00:20:04,162 --> 00:20:07,882
But in Sweden, there is a
monopolyon treating wastewater.
293
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:11,250
The city wants to connect all houses
294
00:20:11,336 --> 00:20:14,756
to the municipality's
systemof sewage treatment.
295
00:20:15,382 --> 00:20:17,972
There's no need at all to connect my house
296
00:20:18,051 --> 00:20:20,551
because I have a freestanding system.
297
00:20:20,637 --> 00:20:25,097
I don't need the city's system,
because my system is better.
298
00:20:25,184 --> 00:20:28,154
My system is renewing resources.
299
00:20:28,729 --> 00:20:29,769
Their system is not.
300
00:20:33,609 --> 00:20:36,609
Sweden is not more
regulatedthan any other country,
301
00:20:37,154 --> 00:20:40,874
but we have this thingthat
everybody has to be very equal.
302
00:20:40,949 --> 00:20:43,949
So you have to payan
equal share of everything.
303
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:49,920
We have this feeling that nobody shouldhave
anything more than the other one has.
304
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,750
Venture too far away from the
mainstream, then you'll get cut down.
305
00:20:53,837 --> 00:20:55,007
It's frustrating.
306
00:20:55,756 --> 00:20:58,836
The city, they keep on
sendingforms and papers.
307
00:20:59,593 --> 00:21:01,353
It's extremely time-consuming.
308
00:21:02,554 --> 00:21:03,564
Hello?
309
00:21:05,474 --> 00:21:09,444
I want to hand some papers to
theLand and Environment Court.
310
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,020
When you go to the city and
say, "I have something new,"
311
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:15,726
and they don't have that in the form,
312
00:21:16,401 --> 00:21:18,241
they say, "It doesn't exist."
313
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,780
Yeah. It has not existed because it's new.
314
00:21:21,865 --> 00:21:24,155
"Yeah, but we don't have it in the form."
315
00:21:24,243 --> 00:21:25,743
"It's not approved."
316
00:21:25,827 --> 00:21:29,287
I guess it's the first ones that
needto be stamped? The attachments?
317
00:21:29,373 --> 00:21:30,373
Yes.
318
00:21:30,457 --> 00:21:34,127
It doesn't matter what proof, how it works,
319
00:21:34,211 --> 00:21:36,261
if it's beautiful, if it's good,
320
00:21:36,338 --> 00:21:38,128
if it feeds you,
321
00:21:38,590 --> 00:21:40,340
because they want you to pay.
322
00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:42,589
That makes me angry.
323
00:21:43,637 --> 00:21:45,927
They think of me as a problem.
324
00:21:46,014 --> 00:21:48,394
They should think of me as a resource.
325
00:21:49,643 --> 00:21:50,893
-Thank you.-Thanks.
326
00:21:56,108 --> 00:21:59,778
People that come from other countriesare
amazed at what we are doing.
327
00:22:00,237 --> 00:22:04,277
And here, it's like we don't fit
in, really, in the system here.
328
00:22:07,661 --> 00:22:12,211
If they make everybody payfor
a system that's not good,
329
00:22:12,708 --> 00:22:16,748
that will stop peoplefrom being
interested in nature houses.
330
00:22:17,421 --> 00:22:19,261
You're not allowed to be different.
331
00:22:42,946 --> 00:22:44,906
In Sweden, we have a long tradition
332
00:22:44,990 --> 00:22:48,830
of building housesto survive
in this tough climate.
333
00:22:49,953 --> 00:22:52,293
Hey, kids, how many pizzas do you want?
334
00:22:52,664 --> 00:22:53,834
I'll take a vegan pizza.
335
00:22:54,499 --> 00:22:55,749
Natalie's plastic cheese.
336
00:22:56,251 --> 00:22:57,461
It's good cheese.
337
00:22:57,544 --> 00:22:58,554
No, it isn't.
338
00:23:00,422 --> 00:23:03,472
We have two chimneysgoing
right through the house.
339
00:23:04,510 --> 00:23:05,930
They're very unique.
340
00:23:08,972 --> 00:23:12,182
The fireplaces, they're always working,
341
00:23:12,726 --> 00:23:15,646
so we don't need electricityto
heat up the house.
342
00:23:19,775 --> 00:23:25,155
They give a feeling of coming to a housethat
is old but still is very comfortable.
343
00:23:27,699 --> 00:23:33,289
My favorite place in the
houseduring the winter is the roof.
344
00:23:33,956 --> 00:23:38,036
It's good for Johannes to
go upstairsand work out,
345
00:23:38,126 --> 00:23:41,626
because it's kind of warm
insidebecause we light the fireplace.
346
00:23:42,506 --> 00:23:45,376
And especially along the roof,
because the heat rises up.
347
00:24:04,278 --> 00:24:05,988
Are you coming?
348
00:24:06,071 --> 00:24:07,361
Yes, I'm coming.
349
00:24:16,748 --> 00:24:20,038
Every Saturday,
Jonatan and I bake this cake.
350
00:24:20,627 --> 00:24:23,757
Shall we read what to do first?
351
00:24:25,591 --> 00:24:30,471
This cake is really just a placeto
meet and do something together.
352
00:24:31,471 --> 00:24:32,601
Oops.
353
00:24:32,681 --> 00:24:33,681
Not again!
354
00:24:36,768 --> 00:24:42,728
When Jonatan got his diagnosis,
I tried to read everything about autism...
355
00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:46,648
psychology.
356
00:24:48,238 --> 00:24:51,448
I tried to understand the human mind
357
00:24:52,117 --> 00:24:53,487
and understand everything.
358
00:24:54,703 --> 00:24:56,333
But it didn't help me.
359
00:25:01,084 --> 00:25:04,634
Anders sees things,
and he wants to solve them as a problem.
360
00:25:05,547 --> 00:25:06,587
Just like an engineer.
361
00:25:08,091 --> 00:25:11,221
But Jonatan is not a problem we can solve.
362
00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:16,810
I was really looking for answers.
363
00:25:20,562 --> 00:25:24,612
There was a momentbetween
Anders and Jonatan.
364
00:25:25,317 --> 00:25:27,317
I wasn't there when it happened.
365
00:25:29,738 --> 00:25:32,488
Anders had been quite angry with Jonatan,
366
00:25:33,075 --> 00:25:37,495
wanting him to do thingsthat
he couldn't live up to.
367
00:25:40,415 --> 00:25:42,535
Jonatan communicated to him,
368
00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:45,550
"I've done so much for you...
369
00:25:46,588 --> 00:25:48,048
so many times.
370
00:25:48,882 --> 00:25:50,512
Can't you feel my love?"
371
00:25:54,263 --> 00:25:57,813
Their souls met on that day.
372
00:26:00,352 --> 00:26:05,272
Finally not seeing him as a
problem, but as a close friend.
373
00:26:06,066 --> 00:26:09,816
That changed. The... that meeting.
374
00:26:18,954 --> 00:26:21,424
Anders accepted him for what he was.
375
00:26:22,583 --> 00:26:27,053
And I think that is somethingwe all
had to do with our expectations.
376
00:26:27,129 --> 00:26:31,049
'Cause it's our expectationsthat
makes us disappointed.
377
00:26:34,386 --> 00:26:36,716
So that was their breakthrough.
378
00:26:40,976 --> 00:26:42,226
What a lovely day.
379
00:26:42,311 --> 00:26:43,731
Lovely day, yes.
380
00:26:44,438 --> 00:26:48,858
Meeting him with total
respectand no expectations,
381
00:26:48,942 --> 00:26:50,782
just with love,
382
00:26:50,861 --> 00:26:52,861
it really helped me.
383
00:26:55,866 --> 00:27:01,536
Jonatan's autism made me think
deeperin why I'm doing this house.
384
00:27:02,539 --> 00:27:05,579
He taught methe meaning of responsibility,
385
00:27:06,043 --> 00:27:09,513
which I'm now usingto take
better care of the planet.
386
00:27:15,761 --> 00:27:18,811
We are sitting in Upgranna Naturhus.
387
00:27:18,889 --> 00:27:20,099
It's a meeting place.
388
00:27:20,182 --> 00:27:23,942
A sustainable meeting placewhere
people can come for a coffee.
389
00:27:24,019 --> 00:27:27,019
We have a restaurant and café.
390
00:27:27,105 --> 00:27:30,275
Anders has been a key person,
of course, in this project.
391
00:27:31,026 --> 00:27:34,066
I looked at Anders's
websiteand fell in love.
392
00:27:34,154 --> 00:27:36,204
So I knew this is the housel'm gonna build.
393
00:27:37,658 --> 00:27:41,288
More and more people are thinking
aboutthe nature house concept.
394
00:27:41,370 --> 00:27:44,750
It's extremely importantbecause
there is a need.
395
00:27:45,916 --> 00:27:47,666
I want to affect the whole area.
396
00:27:48,502 --> 00:27:50,342
I'll start by buying a plot of land
397
00:27:50,796 --> 00:27:53,416
and building another nature house.
398
00:27:53,841 --> 00:27:55,881
I also want to build an eco-village,
399
00:27:55,968 --> 00:28:00,388
so you can have small-scale businesses,
a pre-school, a health facility.
400
00:28:00,472 --> 00:28:02,602
I have some interesting plans.
401
00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:05,730
My house is just the first version.
402
00:28:08,730 --> 00:28:11,280
We're making this concept more accessible.
403
00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:15,360
If there were more nature houses,
404
00:28:15,445 --> 00:28:19,235
the government would
learnto see the benefits,
405
00:28:19,324 --> 00:28:22,914
and we could have a greaterpositive
impact on the whole system.
406
00:28:24,204 --> 00:28:28,294
If you're not findingthe
current system good enough,
407
00:28:28,834 --> 00:28:32,924
then you have to take a little
riskto achieve something better.
408
00:28:34,173 --> 00:28:36,343
A system like Anders has
builtin his eco-house
409
00:28:36,425 --> 00:28:39,425
could potentially be
implementedin all our cities.
410
00:28:40,220 --> 00:28:42,140
I know Anders, and he has tons of energy.
411
00:28:42,222 --> 00:28:43,642
So I'm optimistic.
412
00:28:44,766 --> 00:28:46,056
Be careful.
413
00:28:46,143 --> 00:28:47,733
Anders is following history,
414
00:28:47,811 --> 00:28:52,401
and he's also helping other
peopleto create their dreams.
415
00:28:52,482 --> 00:28:55,652
So I think it's a littlenature
house movement he's started.
416
00:28:55,736 --> 00:28:59,736
The facade will run all
the way outand cover here.
417
00:29:00,490 --> 00:29:01,490
Ah, okay.
418
00:29:02,451 --> 00:29:05,371
It's always very importantto
have trailblazers,
419
00:29:05,704 --> 00:29:10,544
and I think Anders is oneby living
the story that he communicates.
420
00:29:11,210 --> 00:29:12,630
He walks the talk, basically.
421
00:29:13,128 --> 00:29:15,048
And that is brilliant.
422
00:29:15,547 --> 00:29:16,667
Go, go, go!
423
00:29:26,892 --> 00:29:30,232
We had a birthday partyfor
Jonatan and Natalie.
424
00:29:30,729 --> 00:29:32,859
They were turning 19.
425
00:29:33,524 --> 00:29:35,574
Yes, they have lived!
426
00:29:36,068 --> 00:29:38,398
Yes, they have lived!
427
00:29:38,487 --> 00:29:42,407
Yes, may they live for a hundred years!
428
00:29:42,866 --> 00:29:44,986
Indeed they will live
429
00:29:45,077 --> 00:29:47,287
Indeed they will live
430
00:29:47,371 --> 00:29:51,831
Indeed they will live
untiltheir hundredth year!
431
00:29:52,167 --> 00:29:54,457
A four-fold cheer for the twins.
432
00:29:54,545 --> 00:29:55,745
Live long.
433
00:29:55,838 --> 00:29:59,088
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
434
00:30:05,973 --> 00:30:07,273
I'll read.
435
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:09,310
You'll read?
436
00:30:09,726 --> 00:30:10,766
Congratulations...
437
00:30:10,853 --> 00:30:12,483
Jonatan... for...
438
00:30:12,563 --> 00:30:14,153
19th
439
00:30:14,231 --> 00:30:15,611
birthday.
440
00:30:15,691 --> 00:30:20,491
Jonatan, he has been having
lessonswith a teacher coming here,
441
00:30:20,571 --> 00:30:23,701
and we can see progress of his reading.
442
00:30:24,157 --> 00:30:25,327
From...
443
00:30:26,368 --> 00:30:28,288
the whole... family.
444
00:30:36,587 --> 00:30:39,087
Anders was very touched when he saw that.
445
00:30:39,798 --> 00:30:43,298
'Cause it's a goal for him, in a
way, that Jonatan should read.
446
00:30:43,385 --> 00:30:45,595
Omelette!
447
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,470
Very nice.
448
00:30:54,521 --> 00:30:55,981
Are you enjoying yourself, Jonatan?
449
00:30:56,064 --> 00:30:57,074
Yes, I'm feeling good.
450
00:30:57,566 --> 00:30:58,436
Are you happy?
451
00:30:58,525 --> 00:30:59,855
Yeah, I'm happy.
452
00:30:59,943 --> 00:31:04,823
I realize more and more for every yearhow
healing this house is for Jonatan.
453
00:31:07,034 --> 00:31:10,704
The house is perfect for
peoplewith high sensitivity.
454
00:31:14,499 --> 00:31:18,999
Jonatan gets so much
energyfrom the space outdoors.
455
00:31:19,087 --> 00:31:20,757
He has so much empathy.
456
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:26,009
He has so much social interaction,
even though it's against his diagnosis.
457
00:31:30,724 --> 00:31:32,734
Do you remember thenames of the planets?
458
00:31:33,268 --> 00:31:34,848
Yeah, I remember.
459
00:31:35,395 --> 00:31:37,515
-One is Mars.-Yeah.
460
00:31:37,606 --> 00:31:39,566
Another is Jupiter.
461
00:31:40,275 --> 00:31:41,735
Yeah. Jupiter.
462
00:31:41,818 --> 00:31:42,858
Look how beautiful.
463
00:31:42,945 --> 00:31:45,155
Look there, look there!
464
00:31:51,286 --> 00:31:56,416
Living here, I notice a
great change for our family.
465
00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:03,510
The longer you live in the
house, the better the house gets.
466
00:32:06,468 --> 00:32:08,508
It starts connecting with you.
467
00:32:10,264 --> 00:32:13,024
Anders has put all his loveinto this house.
468
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,270
You can feel it in the logs.
469
00:32:18,105 --> 00:32:20,515
It was like building a dream.
470
00:32:21,275 --> 00:32:25,605
I'm very proud of himand what
he made for us as a family.
471
00:32:33,203 --> 00:32:38,173
We just want to show the worldthat
there is an alternative way to live.
472
00:32:38,792 --> 00:32:40,132
And it is a good one.
473
00:32:40,210 --> 00:32:42,090
-Ja. Skål!-Skål.
474
00:32:45,382 --> 00:32:49,762
I don't know if I can change the world,
but I know I can change my world.
475
00:32:49,845 --> 00:32:53,345
That's the most important thingfor
my family and my children.
476
00:32:54,641 --> 00:32:56,811
Our house is giving us hope,
477
00:32:57,686 --> 00:33:00,556
and that hope is really, really strong.
477
00:33:01,305 --> 00:34:01,221
