History / Future
We're here to prove that scalable building with bio-based materials is possible
History
I have built straw bale homes around the world for more than 20 years. In 2020, we built the first EcoCocon building in the United States.
Since then, we have successfully installed EcoCocon straw panels across the country, spanning seven states from coast to coast. The demand for EcoCocons sustainable and innovative building solutions continues to grow steadily.
I have taken it from a one man operation to now having a building team that is growing and many more building projects are in process across the US.

Near future:
Our next ambitious goal is to establish an assembly facility in New York. This facility will allow us to prefabricate EcoCocon straw wall panels into longer elements, as well as produce prefabricated roofs and interior walls in a controlled, dry environment.
These high-quality components will then be transported to construction sites, enabling us to assemble a fully enclosed house in just one day.
100 homes project
We want to see sustainable buildings grow and become more affordable. Only by scale and technology would make it possible to make more affordable homes. We have a team that is working on prefab models that are easy scalable. Together with robot technology, we can bring EcoCocon panel homes to a larger scale production and overtime offer affordable homes that are healthy for both people and our planet.
First EcoCocon production line in the US:
We are dedicated to creating a clear path for the first EcoCocon production line in the United States, with a target launch in 2027 in New York.
It would be the first of more production lines planned across the country, bringing hope and innovation nationwide.
From ancient materials to cutting-edge robotic technology, EcoCocon seamlessly bridges tradition and innovation. With a production capacity of 1 million square feet of straw panel walls annually, EcoCocon can build approximately 500 homes, each averaging 1,600 square feet. This milestone will be a game-changer, empowering us to scale sustainable construction across the country and redefine how homes are built for a healthier, greener future.
