Hello Hubert (is Hubert your firstname ?),<br>
<br>
I put your mail again in the european mailing list because you only
answered to me...<br>
<br>
I completly agree with you. Indeed in Belgium there is not only huge
straw bale houses... <br>
<br>
I've build our house as you'll do your's. As building professional
it is also a serious reference for the potential customers. That 's
why our house is looking as a traditional german house (not really
as a belgian one ! ;-) <br>
<br>
Some pictures of our house are available here : <br>

<br>
Our house is not what I could call a low budget house. I would also
like to work on a low budget straw bale house. But I don't want to
sacrifice some important points. <br>
<br>
The house should be :<br>
- really well insulated<br>
- airtight<br>
- using quality materials<br>
- ...<br>
<br>
I think the best solution is to reduce the surface, simple
architecture, put good windows on south (but not too much and not
too big because this is very expensive), don't build mezzanine (you
loose space), buy second hands material, ...<br>
<br>
What do you mean with sheet calculation ? Budget, thermic ?<br>
<br>
Regarding BBB, I think it is interesting. I would like to build one
. It should be coool.<br>
<br>
I know one place built with BB :

<br>
Guest houses are built under a agriculture building. <br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear Max and everybody,
I'm living in Belgium and would like to add a comment
regarding your remark. I don't think that belgium strawbales
houses are build only for the wealthy folks. I'm personally
building our strawbales house and our architect is really
dealing with the budget. He is working with "normal" people
who can afford the medium price. You have perhaps visited
huge houses when you came at the ESBG. They are not all like
this ;-) Here is my opinion about the strawbale building and
building in general. As a professional builder (insulation,
strawbales, earth plaster, ... ). I'm always trying to find
the best solution/product/quality to be able to propose good
material (and also nice ;-) to everybody. I think everybody
should be able to own a healthy lovely house. My goal is of
course to target the main stream. I think In Belgium the
main stream is meanly looking for a house that is not really
different of the neighbourhood. We are not looking for
extravangant houses. It means that we also have to show that
this is possible to build a strawbale houses that looks like
a traditional one. When I say we are building with straw the
people are generally thinking we are going to live in a mega
organic house. Our house will be an important reference for
my job. That's why it will look like a traditional house but
with some details that will make the difference anyway. For
the next project, I'm thinking about a low budget strawbale
house for (for example) a young couple and his child(ren)
familly... I would like to show it is possible to build an
affordable healthy low energy house. But as André was
writing and saying cheap, quality and quick is not
compatible... This is thus important to take time to do the
things in the right way. Have a nice day (cloudy here
probably ;-) Cheers Sebastien Hubert<o:p></o:p></span></p>
