BaleHaus@Bath is part of a major new research project into how these renewable building materials can be used for homes of the future. Researchers from the University of Baths BRE Centre in Innovative Construction Materials, will be monitoring the house for a year for its insulating properties, humidity levels, air tightness and sound insulation qualities to assess the performance of straw and hemp as building materials.

Always the same mistake from architects. Not enough overhang of the roof means water infiltration rather sooner than later and the wood siding will loolk messy.
Otherwise very good initiative.
