• Straw bale

• Concrete floor

This peaceful little cottage is perfect for the do-it-yourselfer who is interested in learning about building with straw bales, or for anyone who is looking to have a cozy peaceful retreat space added to there homestead.

It has passive solar capabilities built right in, and of course incredibly insulative walls.  The stamped concrete floor can collect solar energy during the cool winter days through the large south facing windows and radiate it into the space at night.  The design also presents many round elements such as rounded walls and windows and an open beamed arched ceiling that look to capture the organic qualities inherent in straw bales.   An electrical plan is included on the floor plan and it features a lighting element along the ridge beam that absolutely drips with warmth. 

The Sunset Cottage also featured in our two and a half hour instructional DVD series that guides you step by step through the construction process, from preparing the slab to finishing the plaster.  If you are thinking about ever building with straw bales, then this is the perfect first step to your journey.  It is like a straw bale workshop where you get to keep the finished work! You have the option to add the DVDs to your order on checkout. Enjoy.
