Straw-bale is an old idea, but modern straw-bale homes are energy efficient, made with natural materials, surprisingly fire resistant and super sound proof as we learned in this tale of two Straw-bale homes. The first belongs to Nora Bumanis, the harpist of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (sound proof) and the second is Lance and Wendy Olson's dream home, an 800 sq. ft. net-zero straw-bale home with a view!

What is more calming than a dog taking a nap to harp music?

Does the pex tubing inside the rammed earth wall degrade the strength of the wall?

Strawbale homes are best in locales that are either very cold in the winter, or very dry & sunny. Tropics and strawbales? Not a good idea.

No. As long as it stays dry it won't decompose.

A beautiful house, well done. But it's time to move the goalposts. This house doesn't look 'net zero', it looks more like the 'net plus a lot' we'd rather have. Don't you just love this transition to a sustainable future we're going through? We constantly have to raise our ambitions as it gets easier and easier.

I am all for sustainable design but I am not keen on this way of highlighting a material use such as strawbale. This makes it look all hippy and unrefined which is not going to attract a wide ranging audience when in fact strawbale can be done in such a way that its got a modern finish and feel, its all in the design and how the bales are rendered. If we want to encourage the mainstream home owner to consider using strawbale or rammed earth which can be as beautiful as stone then we need to show how it can have modern appeal.

And how much more modern do you want the finish to be and feel than it's already presented here? I think it's this residence is very appealing and nurturing as it is.

Ok- a straw bale home, but with bales of "reclaimed" drinking straws..... Got too much plastic waste? Stuff it in a wall and plaster over it. Haha

I dont care about environmental I care about cheap. Unless you do the labor yourself houses built with exotic materials such as straw bail and rammed earth can cost twice as much per foot as a home built of traditional material.
