The loveliest of building materials: Straw

Straw Bale House Books

Damp climates aren't the place for straw bales but where they can be built, the inner finishes can give your home a patina like those done by old world craftsmen. The light and quality of space created are so organic and livable! Mud and straw; truly earthy ways to build.

Our friends, Bill and Athena Steen, still have the best guidebook for Straw Bale and are doing incredible village work in Mexico with their Canelo Project. Please get involved.
