Straw Bale

Straw bale building is what first caught our attention and heart. The simplicity, approachability, efficiency, safety, and beauty that straw bale building brings to the construction world captivated us.

Straw bales, a by-product of the agricultural industry, can be stacked like bricks around or within a stick or timber frame to provide insulation for a building.  The bales are tied tightly together and into place within the frame to create a firm and plumb enclosure.  Because these bales are organic in origin, they have special needs to keep dry, sturdy, and functional.  They need to be coated with a “breathable” render which will protect, preserve, and help the straw bale wall over time.

A perfect solution is our Straw Plaster.
