H. sen. from Bavaria


Mr H. and his wife

Just outside of a nice little village close to Ingolstadt,Germany, Harak and his wife were going against the norm when they decided to embark on their self build project using styro stones.


By chance he had learned that building with this method was possible. At that time the system was known as the "Iglu-System".

They had planned their build and finances meticulously.
  1. By calculating that by doing a large portion of the labour content themselves they could drastically reduce the mortgage costs.
  2. They knew that even with a low mortgage, they still had to find,the interest and amortization payment as well as their fuel bills for heating.
They really were forward thinking,the first oil-shortage began in 1973.They were sitting pretty!.

This is what their house looks like in 2001:


A huge orangerie and a swiming pool are just 2 of the little luxuries they enjoy nowadays..

Helping their Daughter (1991) and their Son (2001) was possible too.
