Strawbale Guest House

This small strawbale guest house features a variety of natural finishes including clay plasters, an adobe floor, clay paint, and salvaged wood trim and furnishings.

Deep strawbale walls, curvaceous plasters, and interior lime plasters combine to illuminate the home’s interior.
Salvaged barnwood and 2x4s match the rustic character of the structure while the clay paint on the ceiling provides rich color and texture.
Salvaged cedar planks, plumbing fixtures, and tiles combine with clay plaster to provide visual interest and mitigate excess humidity in the bathroom.
This basecoat earthen plaster functions well as a substrate for finish plasters or a rougher final treatment.
The obligatory truth window reveals the underlying wall material.
Deep strawbale window.
Custom-made clay paint with mineral pigment, silica sand, fire-clay and wheat paste.
Adobe floor and abundant light create a cozy, warm and comfortable space.
