Another Dream Home

DREAM HOUSE
Hi Peter,
Just thought you’d like to hear about another dream home that was inspired by your day course at Ourganics in Dorset last year.
My partner & I were part of a thirty strong group of volunteers who helped Mark (who did the Course) & his partner Jean erect their new home over the Easter weekend…
He said that after your course, he threw his existing design away & started again from scratch!

It is this sort of feedback that makes all the hard work worthwhile!

When I met James Henderson of Henderson Clayworks we immediately hit it off.

James had seen my EconoSpace framing system in the Owner Builder and knew at once that it would make a perfect match with his beloved clay-straw.
I couldn’t have agreed more!

It seemed to be a marriage made in heaven – my framing system coupled with his infill method.

When James attended a recent EconoSpaceMaking Workshop he enthralled all the students with his knowledge and love of this accessible and sensuous material.

With advice from James the EconoSpace frame in Co. Leitrim will now be infilled with clay-straw.
