Straw Bale Home Plans
All of the strawbale plans here incorporate an internal modified post and beam structure, with bales on edge as infill. This method streamlines the building process and allows more living space on the inside compared to flat bale construction. These plans also have concrete slab or adobe floors which act as the main thermal mass. Plans may be reversed to better accommodate specific sites at no additional charge. Design services are available for custom modifications to these existing plans for an additional hourly fee.
