Title:: Light Clay Straw House
Building Designer:: Shelter Building Design
Category:: Residential/; New Builds

The walls of this house are built with an insulating, healthy, low embodies energy material known as Light Earth. Light Earth is made from straw coated in a light clay slip and placed into a temporary formwork supported off a centrally places structural timber frame.

The build utilises recycled material throughout including, recycles Karri floorboards, recycled Australian Coachwood ceiling and recycled Oregon framing. New double glazed timber windows are used together with some recycled windows, combining the old and new.

This is not a large house but the use of light and flow through rooms make it feel spacious. One of the most environmentally responsible things we can do is not build houses larger than we need.
