The video is not sped up☝️ This is how fast a building can be assembled with the EcoCocon system. At least, that's how fast it feels🌱 With assembly time of 20–40 minutes per sqm, EcoCocon is a weapon of mass construction 🏗 Reconstruction of a historic town house in Slovakia.

We're happy to report steady progress on our upcoming automated factory🌱 You are what you eat, and the same applies to buildings and materials. Except our factory is what it produces – structural timber-straw panels💪 Production is set to launch as early as Q3 2024.

The answer is yes 😉 And not just British, nor just homes.🏡 However, it is rather thrilling BBC is asking the question. A brief introduction to our straw panel system, opening the topic of the need for bio-based construction to a wider audience. bbc.com/news/business-680054…

Should more British homes be built using straw?

Cheap, highly insulating and sustainable, straw has a lot of potential for the building industry.

Straw building is becoming ever more popular in France. The country is home to the world's oldest post-and-beam style straw house. And soon also to this newest, prefab one.🏡 New project on its way in Paulhac, France.

Let's kick off the year with another wonderful project. Switzerland seems to be a veritable treasure trove of dreamy winter homes, and this one doesn't disappoint.🏡 The house is made of straw panels, but no one would know unless told or shown the suspiciously low heating bills🔥

First steps are always the most difficult. Once completed, this agile production centre will serve as a blueprint for easy replication in all countries. As our CEO, Bjørn Kierulf, put it: "My vision will be accomplished when I can ride from one factory to the next on a bicycle."

We often come across lingering doubts about the life-span of straw buildings.⌛️ The 103-years old straw house in pristine condition may have something to say about that. Find out more about the Feuillette house in our newest blog article. 👇 ecococon.eu/blog/2023/the-ol…
