When I was young I wanted to do a lot of different things, but the core ambition was always to do something that would help our environment, not make it worse. To find and promote ways to 'live lightly' and co-exist with the rest of nature - the lack of which, for all the positives of human progress, seems to me to be our kind's biggest failing.
Even though I've always 'done my bit', when it came to work I eventually got trapped in the rat race for many years, ending up working in IT as a systems developer at Bournemouth University, sitting at a desk. A few years ago, a moment of clarity got me thinking that there should be more to life than that (no offence IT!), so I started retraining to do something I really wanted to do.

Because building with straw requires different knowledge to other techniques, it can save you time, money and effort to speak to us first. Many of your initial thoughts and questions can be answered in a relatively short time and we're confident you'll find it money well spent. We are passionate about building with straw bales.
We are passionate about building with straw bales. If you dream of a sustainably built, natural, healthy, breathable building - whether it's a home, a garden room, an extension, a community centre, a warehouse, whatever you desire - straw bales offer you an ideal solution in the UK. Straw bale buildings are highly insulating and that means they are warm in winter and cool in summer - perfect for our climate.
We build with straw. Straw is the dry stalks of cereal plants, such as wheat, oats and barley, after the grain has been removed. It has a low moisture content and very little nutritional value. In its makeup, it's quite similar to wood. If you think of straw as wood and hay as food, the importance in building becomes clear.
