Straw Bale House Plans
Our straw bale house plans have been used to build houses all over the U.S. From Washington State to Arizona, and from Connecticut to Florida, homes built from straw bale home plans are no longer just eco-homes with strange exteriors. A book by Catherine Wanek – titled The New Strawbale Home – contains photos of 40 gorgeous straw bale homes. Straw bale (or strawbale, as many people spell it) home plans typically call for post-and-beam construction, but occasionally, a straw bale house plan calls for straw bale walls that are load-bearing.
Common Characteristics of Straw Bale Home Plans:
- Extremely energy efficient
- Sound-proof except at windows
- Built-in window seats
- Walls often carved out to hold art and other objects
