Straw panel prefabeication hall from paille up. Timber structure. Straw panels on the floor/ jigs with simple dogs to hold things in place. Simple movable portal crane in the background.
Paille up showing it's 7000m2 per year straw panel prefabrication. You can see that we don't need much to build better. #strawbuilding #strawhouse

If you wonder what is behind the grill at the window in this #strawhouse, it's seagrass filtered natural ventilation. Yes, filtered air and noise without plastic, electronics, maintenance.
There are - a lot - of octagonal #strawhouse builds out there, it's a quite sturdy form that appeals to people. Even though the straw bale itself is 'rectangular' you can abosolutely build round and other shapes: www.ecosia.org/images?q=oct...

Before you scream into your little screen that these are single family homes: sufficiency row houses with shared walls can be pretty good for higher density in many places.

Look. Do you understand why people all over the world build with it?

Insulation existing buildings with straw bales is called "Wrapping" in #strawbuilding #strawhouse jargon.

A #strawhouse build from start to finish. Combined with conventional materials. You will see, the transition to this is very easy. #strawbuilding #biobased #architecture
#strawhouse, #strawbuilding this time 5 storeys high.
This is about the all the height/ density you really need in most places. Does not require poisonous materials, makes life affordable and healthy.

Hey next level rural high performance insulation product manufacturers. Thermal conductivity of straw(s) can vary A LOT.

People at bioblow looking at a wood panel filled with chopped straw by a blow in hood on a semi automated wood frame production line
Here you can see at Bioblow what you need in extra infrastructure to switch to #strawhouse #strawbuilding.
Nothing, it works with the existing infrastructure. Why? It's already there. Using straw leads to the smallest foot prints in construction with performance.

Make a pause from doomscrolling, here is a small #strawhouse thread with examples from France, you'll like it.
Or rather a rehab with straw and timber of existing buildings?

Folks from ekodama architektura assembling a temporal straw house exhibition.
I have always liked how doable #strawbuilding is, a #strawhouse is very fast more than a hut, this can be high performance construction by laypeople. This is human scale tech.

This large #strawhouse used wood nails and wood(composite) screws. #strawbuilding #architecture = We can build better for a long time now.

Biodegradability is not a bug, it's a feature.
The trick is to make it possible only when you want it to happen.

In Germany 3 storey multi family homes are #strawhouse #passivhaus territory. This way building itself is 'green'.

My resolution for 2026 is to no longer dominate the terms #strawhouse #strawbuilding #earthbuilding #howtostrawbalebuilding, etc. I won't post less, but more of you will have to build, renovate, talk about the best available climate and resource conscious technology for retrofits and new buildings.
"The CR [community rebuilds] experience was intended to inspire a cultural change in the broader building world, moving the paradigm of stressful, macho, conventional construction site culture towards an inclusive and healthy site with natural materials." #strawhouse #strawbuilding
This all-straw house approach by LTL architects is wild. But imho it's also way to explore carbon storage possibilities. #strawhouse #strawbuilding #bicrs
