Can we get permission to build a straw bale house in Germany? | Ep.02

Before we could build a house, we had to answer one question: can we build here? In this episode, we return to the day we found a small sloping plot in a German village. It looked far from ideal, but sometimes the most important decisions begin with uncertainty. This is the story of choosing the land, searching for an architect after dozens of rejections, and designing a house built from straw, clay and wood. We’re building a modern house using straw, clay and wood, proving natural materials still belong in contemporary construction.
