Sometimes one is grateful for half metre thick strawbale walls & Scandinavian storm grade doors & windows. This is extreme.

Strawbale buildings 😍
You see a meadow? I see CO2 storage in buildings for climate adaptation and global cooling.

Glorious sunshine in the strawbale house.
Heater is off & the passive solar is doing its thing.

The old man passed away 3 years ago, & sadly when mum had her accident they stopped visiting us in Dunedin.
I don’t remember taking this pic of dad out on our patio (strawbale walls for strawbale house) in his happy place reading the paper in the sun, but I bloody love it.

@holz-bau.bsky.social if I’m doing the napkin math correctly using www.researchgate.net/publication/..., the carbon sequestration difference in using wholehouse strawbale rather than PS insulation is equivalent to 735 mature cedar tree-years (for a 200m^2 SF house)

Maintenance at our first little strawbale building, that kicked off many more 🏢 👇🏽
Im Lehmbaukurs mit Stefan Ohnesorg und @doromix.bsky.social konnten unsere Teilnehmer*innen das Material kennenlernen und erproben: Welche Eigenschaften hat Lehm und gibt es Unterschiede bei unterschiedlichen Tonmineralien? Wie sieht eine gute Mischung aus?

Such as modular strawbale, the thing your point access apartment building is going to be built from in 10 years.
at some point i think the germ of the idea that Europe isn't doing anything unique or irreplaceable in the world economy took root in some quarters. it is completely and totally wrong

3 strawbale construction teams participated: HALM Prefabrication, the small carpentry firm Hartböhner Zimmerleute, and experienced traveling straw builders. All teams produced a passive house-grade component for rapid, healthy, easy construction/retrofitting without harming the climate.

Explainer: this is an extreme renovation because they can.
You can also see this as an opportunity for massive CARBON STORAGE. These are huge and very tight bales , 70cm. The typical #strawbale is 36cm over here and this is usually plenty good enough to meet #passivehouse insulation for retrofits.

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

How to achieve a good plaster base without any additional board, #plasticfree etc. Do you recognize the tool?
This #strawbale panel can be directly plastered after trimming. E g. with #earthplaster to achieve airtightness for a healthy #passivehouse.

Worth a watch: Full in situ build video of an all around #strawbale insulated modern cabin with screw piles, shou sugi ban, suspended floor. Not prefabricated.
Straw density is somewhat on the low end, hence ease of installation. #strawhouse #strawbuilding

Well this is a first.
We build Dunedin's first Strawbale house & it's the middle of Feb, the warmest 2 weeks of the year & we have just lit a fire.
The rain is heavy & it's freezing & there are homeless people in Ōtepoti Dunedin tonight as National is ahead in the polls.
I need a fucking drink

A strawbale 100sqm house costs £20,000 to build. UK produces enough straw each year to build 250,000 strawbale houses. A strawbale house can give you a passive house as they are highly thermally efficient. Building with straw would help meet our climate objectives too. So why aren't we doing that?
