Re: [Strawbale] Tyre foundation



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.

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!

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?
