A house, which was thought to be a model of sustainable architecture, has caused anxiety among local authorities, associations of realtors and architects. The reason? Because it was built with materials that provide unprecedented values.
A time to reflect on the home-study that have been built a couple of architects Sarah Wigglesworth and Jeremy Till, we inevitably reminded of those years we shared with them by teaching projects in London. As if Sarah and Jeremy is they had ahead of her students the kind of house that was brewing, one remembers exactly how they talked to students about the need for more domestic value technology. They resulted in the school of architecture an interest in experimenting with those building materials that do not require energy input during their development and learning of traditional techniques to develop environmental sensitivities.
New data in the program The data
starting the project, a mix of housing and workplace that required two bedrooms, a lounge, a come dor, a library, a study to six architects, a kitchen and a bathroom; also considered the energy used in the construction and maintenance of the house.
Building Construction Eur opa means 50% of global raw material consumption and production of construction materials required n 22% of the total energy produced. Moreover, the construction of buildings is also responsible for 50% of the production of CO 2 both aggravated climate change. With these data in the table, Sarah and Jeremy felt compelled to find a model sustainable housing in urban rn ent, beginning bu scar technologies and materials that would reduce the environmental impact in terms of toxicity and energy consumption during production.
The chamber dry toilet compost, solar panels, a cool pantry with passive ventilation which was built following traditional techniques of Mali, or materials such as sandbags, concrete recycling and textile plants previously unknown in domestic construction, are examples of the importance given to recycling and energy saving. In addition, reusing old sleepers train was installed a condensing gas boiler, and two tanks of 3,000 liters you were expected to collect rainwater to fill the water tanks of the study and the meadow of wild flowers and strawberries planted on the deck.
The house also had the support of diverse materials, aware of the publicity that this project could represent. Now all they had to know the answer to the public, keeping hope that the use of this "as available technology" would cause environmental awareness of equal importance given to pragmatic issues such as not to have leaks.

The Straw Bale House is located in the district of Islington, at the end of an alley between a row of Victorian houses and a railway line. Determined by the characteristics of the location and orientation, adopted L-shaped building, with a study looking at the railroad tracks and housing perpendicular to them.
Even before entering the house, we became apparent sensitivity of the investigation that the architects had done. The gate is a juxtaposition of industrial and natural materials, willow branches woven into a galvanized steel frame. Gravel soil the porch is blended with the texture of the six gabions to support the study q ue are simply, these same structures with wire cages filled with stones as associated with the parapets of the rivers.
In the UK, before tax for the disposal of land, demolition materials and debris from n ew construction reached 30% of total collected waste in landfills and illegal dumps. This finding led the architects to verify that the work of a delivery truck recycled concrete is cheaper than transport to dump a load of earth. Hence
be incorporated in the proposed structures of gabions filled with recycled concrete fragments. Au nthat these boxes of wires could be structural and amply support the fish or study, the concern of the insurance company for the comportamient or wires in case of fire necessary to place concrete piers through the center of each gabion. Among the heads of the pillars and the base of study that have been placed support spring housing to dampen vibration from the trains, while providing a gentle swaying when strong winds.
Sandbags
Living beside a railway line also involves noise. In search of an efficient acoustic insulation for the façade parallel to the railway line, the architects turned their attention to an old photograph showing the window of a London coffee topped with sandbags to protect the German air raid. This powerful image was performed at the House of straw to cover the facade with bags stuffed with a mixture of sand, lime and cement, and are nailed to a wooden frame with staples stainless steel. Over time, the burlap bag will disintegrate, exposing the lime mortar to keep bag shape and texture of coarse fabric.
The facade facing the garden studio has a very different to the previous treatment, then tied with a padded fabric and buttoned the breezes kept in constant vibration. This original liner consisting of a glass fiber mat coated s ilicona is, in fact, commonly used on oil rigs in the North Sea. Sarah and Jeremy wanted for architectural use this technology robust and cost in a home, as if it were a quilt that can be replaced according to taste, to reflect the strong relationship between workplace and home.
straw bales
Another inquiry was developed by the architects to use straw bales as insulation material for wrapping the north side and the block of rooms. The benefits of this material are numerous: The bales are recyclable, dense, easy to raise, economic, low stored energy in its production, in addition to having excellent heat insulation qualities. In just three and a half days, a group of friends with no experience in building Sarah Wigglesworth helped put the 550 bales of straw c handle. While Sarah
found that bales could be used structurally, the Ecological Building Society warned not grant them any financial aid to be used as load bearing wall, and have never been conducted in the UK research on the behavior of this material under conditions of high humidity. On the other hand, the use of bales is approved by regulations in the United States and backed by a history as a building material in Germany.
The architects were forced to repeatedly modify the project is still being assured of its validity z. The ultimate reason for which building regulations do not provide certain skills and behaviors of unpublished materials is due to ignorance, the same ignorance also played down the property value Straw House. Even with all the home-study Sarah and Jeremy has been a breakthrough in the UK by being the first house of straw to comply with regulatory requirements and obtaining planning permission. In the two years that have elapsed since its construction, the house of straw and has received numerous architectural awards, appeared on television and radio programs, published in newspapers and magazines, and also ore, tripled its market value .
