STRAWBALE PLOTS FOR SALE
Last summer, we built our own strawbale studio.

photos about the whole process click here.
We now have permission to build more strawbale
houses on the field behind our house. Surrounded by
walnut, linden and fruit trees, this is a lovely site (see

friendly materials we can achieve a low impact and
sustainable development.

The Package: £10,000/11,741 euros (at current exchange rates)
- detailed breakdown of building costs
- a list of suppliers of materials
- tips on strawbale building
