Construction: How ‘Jack’ and ‘Jill’ were built.

Over a seven year period Robert – with a great deal of help from his friends, family,  and various lime / heating / plumbing / electrical experts – coordinated and built the two strawbale houses. This page gives an idea of how it was done. There is lots of information in the ‘Design’ section about where the concept came from and how Brian Waite built one in his back garden to demonstrate his remarkable vision. The page also includes some of the drawings/plans made by our Fort William-based architect (David Mee).
