Similar to the CUT system, so the straw is the insulating enclosure, but the wooden uprights act as the structure. On the website www.ecosdelduero.com you can see it in more detail. We poured the foundations at the beginning of December 2017 (although we were not able to lay thermo-clay until after the heaviest ice) and we are currently in the final stages…we hope to be living there in summer 2021. We have not finished yet, but it will cost approximately 100.000 €, including the purchase of the land, architect’s fees, solar panels-batteries, wood-burning cooker with kettle for heating and hot water…contact for owner-builders: monicaibanezgarcia@gmail.com
