SimplyDifferently.org: Strawbale Cabin

Mueller, Creative Commons CC BY NC 2014, 2015, last updated Fri, April 14, 2017 I have been pondering on a load bearing bare Strawbale Cabin for quite a while, after the tipi, yurt and geodesic dome the winter 2014/2015 something more solid: an easy to build and take down strawbale based cabin. The main idea is to be modular and cutting as little parts as possible of common sized timber, like 3m and 4m long beams, and maintain bare strawbales, inside and outside and see how it does.

The main measures are based on the OSB/MDF, in my case I used 22mm thick 2050mm x 675mm OSB/MDF, and I ended up with roughly 4m x 6m, or to be exact: 3 x 6 x OSB 2050mm x 675mm = 6.15m x 4.05m floor size, the room height is around 2.20m. 3rd day.

Straw-bale building. What is it?

Straw-bale building

It is a building technique that uses straw bales (or even hay bales – although it’s best to use hay for animal feed) for walls – which can be load-bearing, or used to infill a timber frame. It was pioneered in the US mid-west in the 19th century by farmers whose only building material was the waste from their wheat crop. The buildings were intended to be temporary until conventional building materials were delivered. However, they found them to be solid, warm and comfortable, and many continued to live in them in preference to traditional houses.
