Straw Bale
Straw bale construction uses tightly packed bales of straw—usually leftover from harvest—as the primary building material for walls. These bales are stacked like bricks and then covered with plaster or other finishes, creating sturdy, insulated, and eco-friendly structures. The method offers good thermal performance, is cost-effective, and utilizes natural, renewable materials. It’s a sustainable building technique that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering, providing durable and energy-efficient homes or buildings with a lower environmental impact.
