Straw bale house in Unterach am Attersee / Upper Austria
Written by Herbert Gruber

Straw bales, clay and larch wood form the outer shell of the family home. Even for the floor slab, the roof and the intermediate floor, the straw bale – processed in a wooden skeleton – seemed perfectly suitable.

Strohballen, Lehm und Lärchenholz bilden die äußere Hülle des Einfamilienhauses. Sogar für die Bodenplatte, das Dach und den Zwischenboden erschien uns der Strohballen – verarbeitet in einem Holzskelett – als sehr geeignet. Die Fassade bilden ungehobelte Lärchenbretter (hinterlüftet). Innen wurde das gesamte Haus mit Lehm verputzt.
