On this website you'll find pictures of straw bale homes designed by Ecoville ArchiTechs, along with information about straw bale construction and natural building. Ecoville ArchiTechs has been designing energy efficient passive solar buildings for over 30 years and specializing in straw bale house plans since 1996. The green building architects have helped owner-builders in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Indiana. As more and more people become aware of the benefits of straw, we look forward to seeing straw bale construction become the first option in the green building movement.

The Straw Bale Homes Forum was set up to provide an open discussion board on straw bale construction and to help owner builders with their building projects. If you want to build your own straw bale house, we encourage you to join the forum
