The Beauty of Straw Bale Homes

The first architects, builders, and homeowners to embrace the straw bale renaissance were excited by the energy conservation, resource recycling and affordability of this rediscovered building material.  As their movement evolved, however, it became apparent that the elegant simplicity of straw had also enabled it practitioners to tap into an undiscovered creative aquifer.

Athena and Bill Steen, co-authors of The Straw Bale House, a book widely credited with popularizing and legitimizing straw bale construction, celebrate in gorgeous color photography the accomplishments of straw bale artisans.  Selecting from a variety of building types and applications, they vividly portray the sensuous versatility and cross-cultural appeal of this most accessible form of construction.  Accompanying the stunning visual display is a text that incorporates key lessons the Steens have learned in their years as straw bale pioneers.  Their insights into design, materials and construction techniques provide a practical grounding by highlighting the special features and unique personality of each building.

Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! [Rom 8:37.]  The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!  Habakkuk 3:17-19 AMP
