McGregor Alternative Technology Centre, also known as “MAT”, is situated on the edge of the picturesque and peaceful village of McGregor about 2 hours drive from Cape Town. MAT is right next to a nature reserve and has beautiful views of the surrounding hills and mountains. MAT teaches sustainable building, renewable energy, permaculture and holistic healing.
The Little Cottage
We are now building a little cottage of 40 sq m which is the dimensions of the low cost houses. We want to use it as an example of the kind of housing that is possible. If you would like to learn about cobbing, wattle and daub and adobe brick building you are welcome to join us weekdays, either to view or to help.
New on the Site
The little cottage now has its own page where you can follow the progress of the construction. We will be adding new images on a regular basis - from start to finish.
