Fineline Architecture's Strawlines Project, led by Director Magdalena Garbarczyk, reimagines sustainable housing. By incorporating prefabricated straw and timber panels, the initiative addresses the annual burning of 40% of New Zealand's straw. These energy-efficient homes boast three times the required thermal resistance, presenting a potential shift towards environmentally conscious construction practices. Shortlisted for an international design competition, the project signifies a commitment to innovative, eco-friendly living.
