And thank you for your interest in Straw Bale Homes. They are such warm, comfortable and energy efficient buildings, that we feel everyone should have the privilege to be able to experience and to live in one :-)
That's our goal really - To help get more Straw Bale Homes Designed and Built - and in so doing improve the comfort, quality and energy efficiency of homes built here in New Zealand.
We really have had a great time building with bales since the early 1990’s. It is a fascinating construction technique, which when combined with the creative designs developed by our sister company Sustainable Structures, has resulted in some pretty exciting and unique projects, in an array of different sizes and styles. From modest to the highest of levels of finish and detailing. In a multitude of settings - literally from the Sand dunes to Mountain tops!
More importantly, in process of creating such warm, inviting creative dwellings, we have also developed some tremendous relationships with the owners and people we have had the pleasure to work with and meet.
We are very fortunate to have such a creative, enthuastic team and we would all like to invite you to enjoy our site, request one of our free information packs, and if you do have a specific project in mind, make a project enquiry so we can discuss things further :-)
Sexy Straw Bale Studios
We've decided to have a little bit of fun and build 2 totally unique portable straw bale sleep out/ studios that can be transported to pretty much any location in the central North Island.
* Both of them have NO straight walls. So they're organic, soft, curved and well.... pretty sexy!
* One is like a 'cocoon' of sorts. A place to: listen to music to, use as an artistic retreat, spend long afternoons just relaxing in. It's totally wired, and totally transportable. A curved, insulated straw bale caravan. We call it - Paua.
* The other uses an upside down boat for it's ceiling/ roof, has recycled joinery, and is a little bigger than the first one. It too has the amazing insulation properties of plastered straw bale (warm in winter, cool in summer) as well as the unique soft curved style. We call it Mai Mai.
If you love something different. Want something in your garden, yard or holiday property that your friends see, and just say 'WOW' ....'Where did you get that?' then these are for you! Or imagine a group of these studios as a unique accommodation venue!
So - get out your cheque books :-) because these will sell to someone who knows that you can't put a price on unique style.... and comfort.
As we said - these are :
"One off's"
