Yackandandah Straw Bale

This home has been designed to achieve a 7 star energy rating using straw bale loadbearing walls, recycled timber throughout, recycled corrugated iron lining, reclaimed timber from “Black Saturday” fire affected areas, no plaster or paint, earthern floors and polished concreate floors throughout and all in a town zoned area!

We hosted a wall raising to allow the clients – Nigel and Donna and their kids Finbar and Mayve to have their friends to help build their dream house. The weekend was a success and fun was had by all – especially the kids!

Enjoy the progression of photos as we up load them – we hope to inspire more to build with this wonderful medium. Go the bale!!!
