Straw Bale Home

Address

Ventura

Client

Yvon Chouinard

Project Description

California building code adopted straw bale construction in 2019. We utilized a post and beam frame with rice straw bales infill for the exterior walls. The straw bales were a byproduct of the rice industry in Northern California. One of the project goals was to build a superior home while reducing the carbon footprint of the overall project. Another goal was to make it easier for other people in Ventura County to permit and construct straw bale.
