Interested in straw bale construction? You’ll want to check out our e-book, “A Modern Look at Straw Bale Construction.” This e-book was born out of Andrew Morrison’s extensive hands-on workshops, where he taught hundreds of people how to build with straw bales each year. Andrew found himself constantly sketching out the same details and sections, so he decided to enlist the help of Chris Keefe from Organicforms Design to create drawings for a handout. That handout eventually evolved into this comprehensive e-book.

Andrew’s dedication to designing and building beautiful, durable, safe, efficient, healthy, natural, and inspiring structures is reflected in the content of “A Modern Look at Straw Bale Construction.” You’ll find his best details for high-quality construction with beautiful illustrations by Chris Keefe.

Whether you’re a seasoned builder or just starting out, this e-book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in straw bale construction.

 
Wow! This book was the support we needed after reading the 16-day course! The high-quality images support the information perfectly, as sometimes the verbiage is over our “newbie” heads.

After the course, with this book, and (hopefully) a future workshop, we will be ready to build a strawbuild home of our own! Thank you so much for the time, effort, and detailed descriptions! Well worth the money and time! 5 stars!

I found it very easy to visualize the step by step process that was explained. Thanks for your passion and easy going way of explaining concepts that to some of us feel overwhelming.
