It's so hardcore at the beginning, yet obvious and subtle in the end? I had to modernize my house like that as well. Haus Susch, a regenerative 🌾 #deeprenovation by Atelier Werner Schmidt 👏 Photos: Lucia Degonda / AWS

Wooden boxes with angles for more light attached to the existing wall, windows moved forward to the insulation layer. Really tight and overly thick; I guess 48cm straw bales, attached firmly on the wall,standing on a new foundatuon of gabions filled with crushed lime stone. Finished rough lime plaster on the straw bale retrofitted house with metal roof and angled window openings looking gorgeous.

Does anyone else notice that there are only state energy agencies but no emission, resource or #deeprenovation agencies? Or am I wrong.

Just asking because we have an emission problem and the emissions are not declining fast enough.

You may all know the saying:
'The greenest building is the one that already exists.'

I would add:
As long as you don't heat it.

#deeprenovation let's go.
Occupied house in a poor condition.

Seems I'll be showing #straw and #earth #building for #deeprenovation at the great Centre for Alternative Technology in mid October.
I would be up for a pint between Dover and Machynlleth. Will try to see some load bearing #strawbale houses and a prefab site on the way.
