This is Rachel's cosy straw bale house in the middle of a Welsh
winter. Her home was the first two storey load bearing straw bale
house in the UK. Load bearing refers to the straw bales carrying
the weight of the roof without any timber framework. The structure
of the house comes from the interlaced bales pinned with hazel
rods and plastered with lime. Rachel teaches natural building and
holds natural living and
natural building workshops throughout the year, some
especially devoted to women. You can see more of her
straw bale house here. |
