[Strawbale] strawbale building in netherlands or germany in

[Rene Dalmeijer]

Michelle,

As far as I know there is one project going on in the close vicinity of 
Amsterdam. In Almere by Marc Crijns. His house is in the finishing 
stages, specifically interior earth plaster over radiant wall heating. 
The house sports beautiful carpentry by Marc.

I am also busy with another 2 projects in Amsterdam but they are still 
in very early stages. I hope expect to have just started with the 
erection of the pre-fab wood structure when you visit. Besides this 
there are some SB buildings you can visit near Amsterdam.

I also expect that there wille be some SB building going on in Belgium

Switserland. The city sports a an extensive ecological suburban area
