EcoCocon

Between summer breaks, our team visited one of our building sites in Dordogne, France 🇫🇷. With just two people on-site, we built this 120m² home in only 5 days. It was a challenging project, but our carpenter was fully convinced by the quality of our materials! 👏👏. This is our first EcoCocon project in Dordogne, a region famous for medieval castles and truffles. 🍄🟫🏰 Architect: Nicolas Ducrocq Runes Architecture Builder: Demeures Occitanes

🌍 Looking Toward the Future: Scaling Sustainability 🚀 🦾Our fully automated production facility in Voderady is revolutionizing how we build with natural materials. Combining cutting-edge technology with a commitment to eco-friendly practices, we’re scaling up the production of straw and timber panels – driving sustainable construction forward. This innovation represents a significant advancement in our initiatives. As Bjørn Kierulf announced, we have set an ambitious target: to produce 1 million square meters of straw wall panels annually by 2034. 🌿 #EcoCocon #SustainableBuilding #GreenConstruction #Innovation #StrawPanels #FutureGoals

🚀 EcoCocon Leads the Green Construction Revolution! 🌾 Today, we proudly celebrated the grand opening of our fully automated production facility in Voderady, Slovakia – the first of its kind, enabling industrial-scale production of straw and timber panels. 💡 What this means: The factory can produce up to 60,000 m² of panels per year, enough to build 400+ energy-efficient homes. It’s CO₂ neutral, built using our panels, storing 77 tons of CO₂, and entirely powered by solar energy. This marks a huge leap forward in making natural, sustainable building materials accessible to all. We’re excited for what’s next! 🌱 #EcoCocon #SustainableConstruction #GreenBuilding #StrawPanels #GrandOpening #NaturalMaterials

We are proud to be part of this groundbreaking project, contributing to sustainable innovation alongside an incredible team. 💪🌱

Technical specs are important, but real-world performance is what truly matters🍮 The first Passive House built with EcoCocon🌱 has been delivering exceptional energy efficiency for over a decade. This house showcases the power of high-quality insulation, consistently maintaining comfortable temperatures and reducing energy consumption. Our bio-based panels go beyond typical solutions, offering a blend of sustainability, comfort, and long-term performance💪 With over 10 years of proven success, this home stands as a prime example of how EcoCocon contributes to a greener, more energy-efficient future.

Sustainable living in harmony with nature🌿 This off-grid project in the heart of Hudson Valley, upstate New York, features two 500m2 buildings made with eco-friendly materials. One building serves as a 6-bedroom living space, while the other is a community hub with a meditation hall, art studio, and a library with over 7,000 books📚 A greenhouse will connect both buildings, creating one unified structure. With 40 solar panels providing heat for most of the year and an energy storage system for up to 3 weeks, it's almost fully self-sufficient☀️ Both buildings have clay on all the walls and baumit plaster on the exterior. The blower door test was under 0,3 ACH. Built using natural clay walls, it took 1 year to complete this toxin-free, sustainable masterpiece.

A dream can quickly turn into a nightmare, even for a well-prepared self-builder. Such was the case for one of our clients, who poured his blood and sweat into a personal project, only to be stopped by a family tragedy. Unable to continue the work, the weather turned the house into a ruin. But the owner would not give up 💪 Joining forces with EcoCocon, he managed to rebuild his dream in 10 days! And the original design was preserved 🏡 Photo & Builder: Positive Habitat - Gaël Bruyère

Exciting times ahead! 🎉 Join us tomorrow for the episode of Grand Designs Sweden, featuring the stunning house we proudly contributed to. A huge thank you to everyone who made this project a reality! 🙌 Special shoutout to the brilliant Daniel Fagerberg Architect and Project Manager from Strombro Building Workshop, for his beautiful design and leadership on this project. #EcoCocon #SustainableBuilding #Architecture #TeamWork

Do not be fooled by the brick-like facade☝️ The walls of this building are made of straw🌱 and wood🪵 The Ateliers building completes the Nádvorie complex, a space dedicated to contemporary culture. This multifunctional building encompasses a diverse range of spaces, configured as a creative centre with both independent and shared studios, a residential studio structure, an active ground floor with commercial areas, workshops, and administrative facilities for the entire Nádvorie complex.

Straw buildings can thrive in almost any conditions🌱 This lovely soon-to-be home is growing across the pond among red cliffs of Kanab, Utah. An ideal place for hikes and visiting nearby national parks. The home will be a single-storey vacation house, and will serve as a rental when the owners aren't there. This way many more folks can be exposed to the comforts of a Passive House🏡 The owners are diligently documenting their building journey.
