3 little pigs

Ok, so I absolutley love anything that is eco friendly and to do with interiors and lifestyle...gets me a little too excitable! Anywho I have had this recent obsession with eco building with the use of straw bales....yes straw bales..sounds mad if you've never heard of it before. But the thought that you could construct a home with your own bare hands from clay and straw...totally intigues me. Plus all the extra added benifits of affordability, insulation, uniqeness and utter madness! Its amazing...I wonder if Momo could be the wolf from the three little pigs and try and blow the house down!...maybe not.

Dyssekilde Eco-Village, Hundested, Denmark

heres an example of a strawbale cob house! 

very sweet and hobbit like i love it! especially the thatch roof.

but not all straw bale houses look like they just left out of lord of the rings! heres a modern straw bale house opened by grand designs kevin Mcloud.  BaleHaus

A 2 bedroomed 1 bath and open plan living room and kitchen.
