This strawbale home is designed for a budding family, with 1,875 SF for 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths plus 550 SF attic space & play lofts.

Passive solar strategies ensure that the home is flooded with free solar heat in winter, while staying shaded and cool in summer. Additional warmth is provided by a wood-fired masonry heater. A graywater system plus composting toilets handle all the waste, naturally.
