Self build magic

Just seen this posted on FB so spent a few mins looking at the website and watching the videos.

One for Mike G, looks to me like it will ring your eco bells, unless there's something I'm missing…

What a silly way to build a house. Was I seeing that right.......they were using woodshavings as insulation?

Lots of bashing and not a very attractive look.

I was thinking the same!...and also RSI...and probably neighbour complaints from all the cursing!

Whats wrong with studs, batts and cladding? (now I'm an eggspert!) ...It has the whiff of reinventing the wheel.

Yep looked like wood shavings.

I imagine it's comparatively cheap to build which I would think is the attraction. Nor necessarily for Western Europe but somewhere…
