Strawbale Home 
at Cochiti Lake, NM

In the desert southwest, straw bale construction is perfect for its high R-value.  During the summer It keeps the heat of the day out and during the winter, keeps the warmth of the fire indoors.  Its 18" thick walls and soft corners provide a similar look and feel of a traditional adobe structure.
