yesterday the ukuqala team from stuttgart started to create the 'cob walls', this is mix of straw, clay and water and will provide the main outside walls of the new building.
the 'heart' of the structure is constructed from 'standard' bricks, with a heavy duty timber frame, the smaller windows will be made from old washing machine doors, this really is an ecco home!..the team have a wealth of talent with different types of skills, carpenters and brick layers, however most of the team are architect students and this is the first construction site that they have ever worked on.
please follow their progress via their web site here and facebook here
