Straw bale building has begun to enter the mainstream, with many
projects now underway in California, yet many people still wonder, what
does a strawbale house look like? Catherine Wanek 's new book
"The New Strawbale Home" provides the answer --anything you want! Innovative
architects & owner/builders are reinventing this century-old technology to
create thick-walled modern houses of surpassing beauty, that also save
energy and are healthy for the inhabitants and the environment.
This practical book compiles floor plans and images from forty cutting-edge
homes across North America, discussing varying climate considerations &
essential design details. Chapters include information on budget matters,
code compliance, siting & energy efficiency, structural systems, &
finishing touches. It also offers valuable insights & hindsights of
architects, contractors & owner/builders, and a extensive resource section.
Author, photographer and filmaker Catherine Wanek is a pioneer in the
strawbale movement. She published & edited The Last Straw Journal,
co-authored The Art of Natural Building, and produced & directed the video
series Building with Straw. She also helped co-found the non-profit
Builders Without Borders at www.strawbalecentral.com
