We've designed 2 loadbearing houses in France that both got planning
permission.

One of the strawbale houses we have been involved in, Penwhilwr in Wales,
has won the Grand Designs Ecohouse of the year award. Thank you for your

Andre Leorat is totally correct. In fact there is even a 'law' that states
