THE STRAWBALE HOUSE
A Masterpiece of Sustainable Design
This exceptional straw house represents the pinnacle of ecological construction, combining natural materials and traditional techniques to create a truly sustainable home. Built with a robust wooden structure, the house is entirely wrapped in straw bales, providing superior insulation and a natural, breathable envelope. Inside, an additional 14 cm thick wall of sun-dried adobe adds thermal mass and enhances the building's natural comfort.
The walls are finished with clay and lime plasters, with the lime carefully prepared over four years to achieve unparalleled quality and durability. Triple-glazed windows and wooden frames ensure excellent energy efficiency, minimizing heat loss while maintaining a natural aesthetic.
From the artisanal craftsmanship of the finishes to the complete absence of harmful substances like formaldehyde or VOCs, every detail of this house reflects a commitment to ecological living. The result is a perfect example of a truly sustainable home—one that offers unparalleled comfort, health, and harmony with the environment.
