Straw Bale

STRAW BALE

This bale of straw symbolises the simplicity of our designs, working with the environment, natural materials and low-impact foundations. Straw - available locally in most parts of the UK, is plentiful enough to build all the houses we need without any changes to agricultural policy. 85% of materials in our houses are of low embodied energy and the finished house has a negative carbon footprint.

They are durable, affordable, beautiful and thermally efficient. Their simplicity makes them perfect for sweat-equity projects that give ordinary people a greater emotional and economic stake in their own home. Working with straw is empowering!
