Bale Craft Our work begins and ends with the earth
WHY BUILD
WITH STRAW?
As a natural co-product of the agricultural industry, straw creates a healthy home environment through using healthy materials.
It offers a high energy efficient and low carbon footprint build with superior fire resistance, improved interior air quality, great sound insulation, and other beneficial qualities of building with natural materials.
We are a team of architects, farmers, builders, designers, teachers, thinkers, and doers with one shared vision: to craft sustainable solutions to the construction industry that benefit the climate, health, and housing.
WHAT WE DO
As architects, we design custom builds using straw bale construction methods.
As fabricators, we manufacture straw-based, structurally insulated panels.
