Netherland

Straw bale construction is a rapidly growing building method in the Netherlands. There is sufficient straw available. The insulation values are above average. There are no known health risks associated with living in straw houses. Working with straw bales is easy for the average experienced craftsman.

Thanks to the organisers and teachers at the Amsterdam Waldorf School who asked us to give a straw bale clay plastering workshop for 14-year-old pupils. The young people attended the training with great enthusiasm and joy and covered the entire building in clay plaster in no time at all.
