'The House of Wood, Straw, and Cork' has been designed by LCA Architetti as a two-story farmhouse that pays distinct attention to an eco-friendly construction and design. The home is, as its name suggests, achieved with these sustainable materials including wood where required along with cork cladding for stylish cladding and straw for further insulation. The home is paired with recycled material for insulation along with solar panels on the roof to make it a self-powered structure that further enhances its ability to not impact the environment or the surrounding landscape.
'The House of Wood, Straw, and Cork' is eco-friendly and modern, but highlights a decidedly homey interior space that is warm and inviting to make it well-suited to the needs of the inhabitants.
