heard there were plans to build straw bale structure somewhere. please inform.
I have been given provisional permission to build a structure in a small woodland at the quadrangle trust nr 7oaks in kent (www.quadrangletrust.com) and am keen to start a project there and wonder whether BTT could get involved
Personally speaking it is a long way out of London for me to volunteer any free time. Alistair has invited me down a few times, but never managed to make it yet.
Within our community we have skills in
- cob and straw bale building experience
- permaculture design (to design the functionality, flow and usage of the building)
- forest garden design (to design food growing around the building, which incorporates the building)
- solar pv design and installations
- solar water design and installations
- greywater treatment systems
- compost toilets
- landscape design
- green roofs
Personally I would be happy to run a forest garden or a permaculture workshop at the quadrangle. Not sure what time others could put into helping you.
I’ve just received the following comment from Hannah:
I haven’t heard anything about a local straw bale building project, but I do know of a group called Concrete Jungle Earthship who want to build (obviously) an Earthship, probably in Southwark: http://www.c-j-e.co.uk/
Might not be relevant, but possibly they would know about the straw bale project if there is one, so he could try getting in touch with them. Unless someone else here knows about the straw bales.
