Voronezh, Russia

 


  
A resident of Voronezh Alexey Kombarov with a friend built a straw house just a couple of months: blocks of dried straw 300 kg each men piled into the wall and carefully plastered with clay. It turned out cheap, fast and environmentally friendly. The technology is not new and was popular, particularly among American settlers in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century. However, in Voronezh, the idea became a sensation: the builders already had followers and customers may soon be built a whole straw village. The cost per square meter of straw — about 50 000 rubles. the price includes the installation of solar panels and wind turbines for energy storage. Mayo, Ireland





The first two-storey house made of straw appeared in Europe in 2003, it was built by Barbara Jones in Ireland. The construction involved 100 volunteers, and 80 of them women. A form reminiscent of abalone — haliotis. Since then, Barbara has become a guru for the construction of natural homes — she has a lot of orders, seminars and students, only built more than 300 buildings from straw in different cities of Europe.

One of the houses of the settlement Lammas was built a poor young family Charlie the Hague on the plot: the construction lasted a year and cost about £15 000 ($25 000).

The family moved here from the trailer in connection with the birth of a child.
