Straw Bale Workshop and StrohuttenFest

The walls of the new office will consist of straw bales, finished-off with a layer of clay. The 100% organic materials come from a local field. In this 4-day workshop you'll build our office step by step together with expert René Dalmeijer and the Mediamatic team.

After every building day we'll come together, share a wonderful meal and listen to presentations from expert straw builders, architects and other straw-bale lovers during StrohuttenFest. Featuring amongst others Barbara Jones (UK) and Sjap Holst (NL). On Saturday September 28, we'll close the StrohuttenFest with funky local grassroots and Hill Billy bands.
