Re: [Strawbale] Straw bales in Spain




Hi

If you speak Spanish http://www.casasdepaja.org/ is a good site.

Building straw bale legally in Spain is difficult because the material is not been approved by the national architects association. (or had not been in 2006 when I last checked)

I think that a couple of legal straw bale buildings have been approved individually but it is an expensive process.

Building illegally in hidden away places is possible and much more common for straw bale in Spain.

Spanish building and planning law is different than UK (not better or worse just different) and it helps to understand it.

If any one has more up to date info on approval of SB is Spain I would very much like to know as I want to do a legal SB build in Spain.

Quoting Sarah Phillips <sarah@eticas...>:

I am thinking of building a straw bale house in Spain.
Does anyone know how easy it is to get good quality bales here?

Any other advice much appreciated.

Thanks
