STRAWBALE WORKSHOPS

A pottery studio, jewellery workshop, glazed link, storage rooms, wood store, garden store, and kiln room, built in 2019 by Hartwyn in Suffolk. It's constructed of timber frame, with limecrete foundations, straw bales for insulation in the workshops, natural fibre insulations in the roof, and earth floors over recycled foamglas insulation. It's finished internally with clay plaster and externally with timber cladding, except for the glazed link (or cuisine d'ete) which has a roundwood frame, brick floor, polycarbonate roof, and 'mandarin' lime render on the couple of straw bale workshop walls, creating a gloriously Mediterranean-inspired outdoor dining space.
