Description

Here is an 896 sf plan made for a couple’s weekend retreat…or even full time residence. It won’t take much to heat this place in winter or keep cool in summer. It will be easy to go off grid with this one! It’s also perfect for someone looking to build their own house as the overall plan is relatively simple yet yields a very functional space.

All of Integral Design Studio’s straw bale plans incorporate an internal modified post and beam structure, with bales on edge as infill. These plans also have concrete slab or adobe floors which act as the main thermal mass. Plans may be reversed to better accommodate specific sites and design services are available for custom modifications to these existing plans for an additional hourly fee.
