Gallery - Project Stansted

The largest strawbale building yet built in the UK, using our very latest design technique that we call compressive frame, whereby the roof structure is lowered onto the straw walls once all the straw is in place, thus adding the advantages of a loadbearing structure to a framework building. The building is for Sworders Ltd, a Fine-Art Auctioneers based in Essex, who want a sustainable building for their own offices and show premises. As well as strawbale walls, this building will have rainwater catchment, solar water heating, bio-mass space heating and lime rendered walls.
