[Strawbale] Cohabitat, The Movie. A story about building collective dream... in straw!



Dear strawbale friends all over the world ;-)

I'm happy to share with you our youngest creation ;-) Together with rest of the CohabitatGroup wonderful team (big thanks to filmmaker Jacek Burban from http://www.flowmotion.pl) we've made a movie documenting extraordinary event:1st Polish Strawbale Gathering 2011 (thx Max V. Jansen for inspiration :). It was exciting time for us! Hope you will be able to feel some of it though movie shots ;-)

here it is:

We were building nanoHabitat v0.1alpha. An open-source small cabin. This project was a delicious fruit of the cooperation between CohabitatGroup and United Nations Development Programme. Together we started a program of implementing natural building techniques for resolving some social issues. Few young people from sociotherapy city center were working with us full time - how about creating job opportunities in naturalbuilding 'industry' for them ? :-) We find this idea really promising.

We used PICAS clay plasters for the inside finish. Even Michal Navratil visted us ;-)) Thank you Michal for your knowledge and sharing your love and passion to plasters.

We want to release building documentation for this cabin in early autumn, together with Cohabitat, The movie premiere.

Hope you will enjoy this stuff ;-)
Best regards from Poland! :-)

ps. here you will find some photos from the building site:
