When straw-bale is appropriate for a project, it is usually the most efficient system. It's a beautiful material. We try to use wood which has been responsibly grown and harvested. We also like straw-bale walls. They're cozy and quiet.
Light comes in beautifully through deep windows.
When we build with bales, we try to design the other components of the building to be as environmently sound, efficient and beautiful as the walls.
