…now, let’s remember that buildings built prior to today in the U.K. WERE NOT DESIGNED TO BE COMFORTABLE, LET ALONE HEALTHY/SAFE DURING 40°C SUMMERS, and neither are the ones being built today as you read this. Our built environment is a terrifying omission in climate discourse.
Is the UK becoming too hot to handle? 🌡
40C British summers could become the new normal, according to meteorologists.

Scientists agree that atmospheric CO2 should be below 350ppm. But in March we passed 416ppm. Have you already considered building with straw?

We have been trying to keep the animals busy during lockdown - they do miss our guests! Here is one of our chickens enjoying sprout peel bunting. Yummy! @ Elmfield Straw Cottages instagram.com/p/CMHN177FRXl/…

Use pea shingle and tyres instead of stone filled steel cages for house foundations - is this possible? @YPNMagazine @strawworks #property #savetheplanet

Traditional construction takes time, energy, and rarely goes smoothly. We are rethinking construction for an easier, faster and more sustainable way of building.
