Structural Cork

Archer
in Timber Frame

Not sure this is timber frame exactly, but as a bit of fun... Thought this was interesting - article on the Stirling nominated Cork House using load bearing cork blocks. There second article is from Building.com on the same topic and the 3rd link is a blog on a DIY garden room project using cork blocks by Studio Bark (who did the Grand Designs ply box house). 

 

Interesting idea - gets filed in my mind with hempcrete and strawbale construction - slightly wacky eco materials with useful properties...

£6k for the cork used in the 13m2 garden room apparently, so yes
