[Strawbale]Re: green roof on a straw bale loading wall

[ben albu]

Dear Valentina,

Last year I was volunteering at a strawbale-project (architect: Herwig Van 
Soom, Belgium).
The house has two sections.
One post and beam with strawbale infill (partially)
The other one loadbearing, and with a green roof ....
The owner of the house has made a nice website about the different 
construction processes.
Check it out on http://www.da-fi.com/broeckhuis/

dear valentina,
I have done some researchwork for a design competition and i have
encountered the same problem. At the time I think the only feasable option
to apply a green roof is to build a post and beam frame with strawbale
infill.
Archibio http://www.archibio.qc.ca/pages/roof.html from canada has done some
experimenting with a so called 'living roof'. You can order their brochure
which i haven't done, and maybe their ideas can help you.

kind regards,
Stephan Meijer eM-Design
