Quality strawbale construction has proven itself over the past 20 yrs to be a viable and desirable building option in America. These highly energy efficient homes are natural, aesthetic and very comfortable to live in year round. This material has ranked 1# in sustainable building practices.

There are several strawbale books available that have a wealth of information. A few of our designs have recently been featured in The New Strawbale House Book by Catherine Wanek. Additional homesare soon to be published in other upcoming strawbale books.

Strawbale works perfectly with earthen plasters and offers itself to aesthetic and artistic features such as niches, built-in window seats and rounded corners.

We highly recommend the use of solar hot water panels for domestic use and for radiant heating as well. (shown below)
