From the coronation of Queen Elizabeth ll at Westminster Abbey to homes for the homeless, strawbale and timber is the way forward!

Sometimes you just have to go large!
Yes! We’ve built using Hestons, hence the John Deere in the background!

Great to have been involved with this amazing project!
Fab design by @Agile_DesignUK with #RammedEarth, stunning #glulam curved roof, holding up an intensive green roof that reflects the landscape of the Clumps.
Why straw? It’s a truly #circulareconomy, renewable material! 🌾
Have a peek at our straw insulation panels in manufacture – these went into the walls of Earth Lab recently, so it’s good to see what’s inside!

Here’s a video of a test we carried out in 2009. It’s a prefab ModCell panel with glulam timber as the structural frame, rendered with lime to the inner & outer faces applied directly to the #strawbale.
It shows how straw protects & insulates!
