Tyddin Irias - Strawhouse

We have recently supplied our customers at Tyddin Irias with casement windows and stable doors. This is a very interesting project as the house has been made of straw. The one and a half storey strawbale home which was inspired by traditional Welsh longhouses, has walls which are made from stacked strawbales held together by rods. The house is also built on a foundation of tyres full of pea gravel. We look forward to see how the home will look and work once the buliding has been completed. Here are some photos of the work so far...
