Lisa and Louis took 250 tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere when
they built their
straw bale guesthouse
in the beautiful alpine valley of Val d'Herens in Switzerland. The
guesthouse was designed by architect
Werner Schmidt who builds homes from big bales 1.2 m (4ft)
thick. Such big bales mean the house is extremely well insulated.
It doesn't need a heating system, even in the Swiss Alps. Follow
the link to the article where you can see a time-lapse of the
hotel being built and try the local Swiss recipe for wild Rhubarb
jam. |
