Workshop: Straw

Supported by Heinrich Böll Foundation

Straw bale houses are becoming increasingly popular due to their many benefits: excellent insulation properties, sustainability, and contribution to circular construction. However, fire safety and security are also important factors to consider when building a house, all of which we will discuss in our workshop.
