UNLOCKED: Sarah Wigglesworth and Jeremy Till's self-built straw bale house

Sobre este vídeo

For the latest episode of Unlocked, Phineas Harper visits the iconic Straw Bale House in Islington. Designed by architects Sarah Wigglesworth and Jeremy Till in 1995 as a pioneering eco build, the house is known for its idiosyncratic material palette of construction rubble, sandbags and straw bales. In the video, Sarah, Jeremy and Phin discuss the genesis and evolution of the house, the future of eco homes and the fallacy of timeless design.
