It doesn't look very big but this straw bale roundhouse
seats 16 people around its wood burning stove.
Barbara was one of the first women in Europe to
break the male dominated building industry. For years she has been
building straw bale homes, first as Amazonails but more recently
as Straw Works.
In March 2011 Barbara won the Lifetime
Achievement Award from
Women in Construction.
If you take a look at some of her work on the Natural Homes
Map (right) you will see why. She's built some beautiful homes. Click on the straw icons
to see a pop-up bubble that will show you the home and give a
short description with links to the owner or to Straw Works
website.
