Poula-Line built her straw bale home in Fri & Fro ecoVillage in Egebjerg, Denmark. It's one of a collection of
unique straw bale homes in the village. Her home was inspired by a
conch shell she found on a beach in Malaysia. Poula, just like
Rachel, lived in a small straw bale cabin on her land
while she built her home.

Rachel lived off-grid in a shed in her woodland, carrying water from a
local spring, using candlelight, a gas stove and a compost loo. She
loved it, but the shed was small, so she built a straw bale
extension. From this humble
start she has built an iconic home winning the
2009 Grand Designs eco-house award.

help from the nearby
Lammas ecoVillage. It uses a reciprocal roof on a circular henge of
roundwood timbers.

This is the bathroom at
Laughing House with a wonderful mosaic that
reaches into the deep windowsill where light reflects softly into the room
on the edges of the reveals. The whole house is a master class in
A
Pattern Language.
