The EcoCocon® innovative straw wall system is revolutionising construction by making the best of natural materials while ensuring healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient living at the same time.
The main building blocks are structural timber-straw wall panels that are made to measure for every project with 1 mm precision. The panels are made of 98% natural renewable materials that safely store tons of CO2 in each building. Straw, which functions as effective insulation, is densely pressed into timber frames. To protect the world’s forests, only a small amount of wood is used for the frames — just enough to be load-bearing. The panels can support up to 6 storeys.
A coat of allergy-free, non-toxic natural clay plaster passively regulates humidity and helps to keep it at optimal levels. The entire system is airtight but vapour-permeable — it allows excess humidity to escape and leaves no space for draughts or mould. Natural materials create a healthier indoor microclimate with even temperatures: warm in winter, and cool in summer.
EcoCocon is the only building component with both Passivhaus and Cradle to Cradle certifications. Making the most of renewable materials, it was created to have a minimal ecological footprint and to be safely returned to nature after use.
