PROJECT DESCRIPTION
straw bale house
Living dimonstration of how is possible to create a real sustainable building with only the power of two and a very limited budget (45k).
First straw bale house in G.R.E.B tecnique designed for high seismic area in Italy.
Experimental house built in 11 months by two people with limited tools and no electricity connection.
Straw bales have been used for the insulation of walls, roof, and fpoudations.
Most materials used comes from the site, others are reclaimed or recicled.
