I love that we are headed back to building structures that use some of what is used in these structures.

The "final foolproof methodology" for straw bale construction is still and elusive thing!

So much more homely than the brick and timber 'boxes' that are being built around the UK. Even the interior décor is sustainable. Reminds me of the Lammas project (http://www.lammas.org.uk/) which really does remind me of Hobbit homes. Would love to build one myself, solar panels and heat pumps included. Sure it could be done without detracting from the outward appearance of the building. A truly wonderful collection of sustainable homes.

I could get into living in #8. It seems like more of these houses would save a lot of dry wall material going into landfills! The idea of building a cob house has fascinated me for quite some time.
