Acupuncture-Ecohouse

My name's Vivien. I work as an acupuncturist and my dream has always been to make a pretty, unique space to practice acupuncture in. A friend suggested building a straw bale eco-house with rammed earth tyre foundations, straw bale walls and a reciprocating roof. It seemed like a nice idea. The acupuncture-ecohouse is the result. It is in my back garden in a domestic street in Oxford UK. The building process took about 10 months, and no planning permission was needed because it's equivalent to the size of a garage.
