Canungra, Queensland. Strawbale family home before rendering. This ca. 220m² (including loft space), 4 bedroom home was Owner Built with the involvement of QLD Builder Paul den Besten, to be contacted via pauldenbest@hotmail.com or 0408870178. Our company was responsible for the complete rendering of the strawbale walls.

"The Gecko"

One of the creative details for this home is a large, magnificent Gecko of about 3 metres in lenghts, modelled from cob around wooden dowels.

Clay, the main source being from the property, has been used to render the home internally & externally. Generous roof overhangs of 700mm protect the external walls from the elements. Also, natural and vapour permeable Silicate (clear) has been applied to further protect and seal the walls.

Natural, magnificent & picturesque, both - the home & the scenery.

Internal detail with niche in strawbale wall.
