Earth Hands and Houses
Paulina is an experienced builder and architect. Here’s a strawbale house built at a previous workshop in Poland.
Hello,
I am thinking of building an earth bag home in the Haute Savie region (Annecy) of France and wondered if you knew if earth bags are allowed in France?
Thank you,
Josh Tallie
France is famous for their earth building know how. I’m sure you can find someone locally who can help. Search the Internet for terms such as earth building architect or adobe architect or adobe architect France. Also, you can contact some of the earth building organizations.
