Here's the outfit that built it. Her company did a presentation at the Stone Foundation Symposium. Flying stones through the forest and hauling by helicopter. Very cool.

Re: Hey Artisanstone...


That is the side I worked on. That little cabin has about 300 tons of stone all set in lime mortar. The side walls taper from 3' at the bottom, to about 20" on top. There is no road access, only a 5' trail. All materials were brought in with a little tracked dump truck.

I think they call that rig "Bruta" or something.
