Default Alternative buildings

So I was interested in anyone's experience with alternative buildings and building materials.

Like, strawbale, cob, living roofs, etc.

So what's your experience?

Or even interests?

I don't know what do you mean by this alternative buildings. It is that the sheet that we cover the roof instead of making with the bricks or it is like the whole building as an alternative. Can you just be more clear?

Yes, it is true people started to use the alternative buildings as well as the alternative particles or the compounds that is been used to construct a building. I have seen some people started using a big house or home as their office or a hospital.

A MANSION in London is set to sell for £117million – making it the world’s costliest home.
The palatial residence, on a street dubbed Billionaires’ Row, is believed to have been bought by Britain’s richest man, steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal.




He is believed to be close to exchanging contracts with owner Noam Gottesman, 47, a US-born financier.

The home in Kensington Palace Gardens, West London, Princess Diana’s former street, is being sold furnished and with an art collection. It works out at an astonishing £8,000 per square foot.

Mr Mittal, 57, who denies being the buyer, has been looking to splurge some of his £27.7billion fortune on a home for son Aditya, 32.

Mr Mittal moved into the half-mile, tree-lined private avenue four years ago after paying £67million for a 12-bedroom home.


His new pad pips the £115million previous record – paid in March for a flat being built in nearby St James’s Square.
