This finely crafted passive solar home connects to the outdoors from every space. Several porches can be opened in summer for airflow, or closed in winter to create a sun room. Strawbale walls provide high insulation, while cob walls & adobe floors ensure year-round comfort with very little energy usage. Most of the wood in the home was harvested & milled on-site, then dried in a solar kiln. The home also features tactile clay plaster throughout, plus several tadelakt (polished lime plaster) showers. Photovoltaics provide all of the home's energy.
