<font face="Arial" class="">Hi Noé,<br class="">
<br class="">
Do you mean a building built with Stak Blocks? I don't believe a building has been constructed with them (Bruce might know differently). On the other hand you mention "even a little tiny house". So I included the attached photo of a teeny-tiny little tiny house using Stak Blocks. Tiny enough to sit on a table at a trade show (!).<br class="">

PS – Bruce, I agree that the straw bale subject that needs further research most is the optimal density for maximum thermal resistance. Of course there is also lots o’ structural testing still necessary. I think structural straw bale walls (especially shear walls) have yet to be fully understood and optimized. Plus there are so many assembly variations.<br class="">
