[Strawbale] Tyre foundation

[Barbara]

The majority of the buildings we design are loadbearing, with full planning
and building regulation approval, and we have been involved in several
hundred. We do not see the need for using a framework system in most cases
as it involves extra cost and reduces design simplicity.

 

Best wishes

 

Barbara Jones FRSA

Director

 

The library extension that we helped design and build for Calderdale Council
at Shelf, Halifax, has won the Halifax Courier Environmental Design Award.

One of the buildings we have been involved in, the largest strawbale
building in the UK, a saleroom of 1100sq.m built for Sworders Ltd, has just
won the Sustainability Award from the East of England RICS. And has now won
a Commendation in the International awards!

Barbara Jones FRSA, Founder and Director of amazonails, has been named Woman
of Outstanding Achievement 2009 by the UK Resource Centre for Women in
Science, Engineering and Technology (UKRC) for SET discovery, innovation and
entrepreneurship.

 >>>
We have built several buildings using car tyres as foundations. All have
full UK building regulation approval ...

Now *this* is interesting. Are any of them load-bearing (Nebraska) or are
they timber frame?
 
TIA
