Strawbale Guest House

This 450 square foot strawbale casita uses an open floor plan and sleeping loft to provide plenty of spaciousness for one or two people. Outdoor living spaces also extend the floor plan beyond the exterior walls.

A vaulted ceiling provides plenty of room for an upstairs loft, and an enclosed bathroom and closet provide privacy and storage.
Open shelves provide easy access and a casual feel, and and mobile furniture provides flexibility.
Minimal furnishings reduce clutter, while the bar in the middle separates the kitchen from living room spaces yet maintains a feeling of openness.
Large south-facing window provides beautiful views, a comfortable seating space, and passive solar heating while the earthen floor captures that warmth for ongoing comfort.
Salvaged lumber used to build this ladder for access to the loft.
Efficient bathroom design promotes a spacious feeling.
Sleeping loft over bathroom.
Pleasant outdoor space for BBQ.
Some say a smart-sized space is one you can clean on a Saturday morning and be out the door by 10 for weekend adventuring.
