EcoCocon Stories

This is the story of an EcoCocon villa on the island of Barösund in Finland's scenic Ingå archipelago. Once on the verge of collapse, it has been transformed into a sustainable, comfortable home.

Juraj Mikurcik is an architect with a great passion for sustainable Passive Houses, which are built with healthy, renewable materials. Five years ago, he embarked on his own personal journey, building the very first EcoCocon home in the UK.

10 years ago, a small group of Lithuanian civil engineers started to make their first straw-bale houses. Their intention was not to change the world.
