As 2025 approaches, we reflect on a remarkable year for EcoCocon and green construction. Our key highlight was the grand opening of our new fully automated production facility in Voderady this September - a pivotal moment that sets the stage for a new era for natural building materials.

You might think the humble straw wall panels are only suitable for small projects such as extensions or individual houses, but the possibilities are much more exciting. Let’s have a closer look at how our panels can be used in applications of different scales, such as apartment blocks, industrial buildings, sports facilities and schools to name but a few.

Like chefs, architects have a difficult choice to make when starting a new project — what ingredients should the building be made of? Today’s landscape of conventional construction is teeming with hundreds of types and combinations of industrially produced materials. Each has different properties, making them more or less suitable for specific use cases.

Small and large, modest and lavish, residential or commercial. All with one thing in common – a golden coat of insulating stalks. At EcoCocon, we've never lacked variety in our projects. Month after month we shine a spotlight through our social media on interesting straw buildings growing all over Europe and the United States.
