Impressive Straw Bale Home & Dream Family Homestead — Sustainable Green Building

beautiful home, beautiful family

Costs??

Can you send me a copy of those plans?

Hard consistent work pays off....

Can you share any of the architectural details I'm curious on the roof design and beam sizing and things like that....

Greetings from oakville Ontario Canada there's a home built from straw and mud and other environmental materials because the owners wife had allergies to normal building materials thanks for the presentation

Solar mass has been disproven? Where can I find more info on this? I have plans to build a tiny straw bale passive solar home with an earthen floor.

My dream just add solar and perfect

amazing what these ppl managed to do, much respect for them and thanks for sharing <3

Gotta match?

Straw sounds good but what abt rodents 🤔 in my country mice would invade this kind of a house during the first winter...especially in the countryside...

Wait.....early on he mentioned not wanting to use plywood but used PSL post and beams? Non- sequitur

very impressive!

thermal mass is not disproven. it is just that it is suitable only to certain latitudes/annual weather patterns. eg in the tropics you build high on stilts to allow all around airflow.

how come the access for the waste tank is inside the house? why not have the door on the outside? just have an external door?

I'm in love with this home. I would so love to have something similar to this. How can one do this? I do live in alberta Canada. Our family wants to have a sustainable and off grid home. It's our dream ✨️

composting toilet but this guy has a lawn LOL!

What country is there?

What a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing it with us. Kathy.

this is stunning

This is incredible! Can anyone explain how the strawbales in the wall don't decompose over time and impact the scructure/insulation of the house?

Few questions. Do the hay bales break down eventually and leave gap between the layers of clay? Were the hay bales sprayed for bugs first? Lastly, they keep touting "sustainable" does that mean that somehow they also create the clay?

He should've saved some of that straw for mulch. Cover that garden.

Climate change 🤣

Hope you people all flooding to the country leave your politics in the cities you came from.

Wonderful

I wish I could turn the background music down.

Do you mow the lawn on the roof ?

What has dethroned thermal mass as the most effective passive heating? I’m so curious!

burning wood is not very ecologically friendly as people think

Its great to see this guy, his wife and his wife's son living in such a great house!

What was the price of this?

I wish I could build the same home in Africa.
Can I have a copy of the building plan by any chance ?

This is awesome. Good for them! Love seeing this. Inspirational.

That’s my dream…. A sustainable house

This is an amazing house, but seems like a massive overuse and dependency on sustainable technology

Top 10 Best episode for sure!

What got me is straw bails as insulators. I’m not taking nothing away. It seems like a rodents paradise. I need educated how this doesn’t fail. Most respectfully.

Just wondering, how do you harvest rain water?

I just truly love it.

It is nice, but I would like it more with greenhouse like earthship have. Cool air from back has more solution that to burry long pipe underground. Otherwise I really like, I am big fan of greenroofs and earthen plaster.

I really want a natural build like this but its so expensive!

I really need help I want to live underground.

The plaster straw walls are just lovely

How amazing is this !

I want this so much

Beautiful home! I was curious about the bedroom pods and wished more time was spent exploring the layout/design of the floor plan.
