THE PROPERTY

There is far too much to say about our beautiful land and hopefully beautiful house (one day!) for one page so this section is broken up into several sections. Click on the links below for more detail...

OUR STRAWBALE HOUSE PLANS - WEST ELEVATION



The west elevation can be quite problematic for a sustainable design as the late day sun during both the winter and the summer is very low. In summer this sun is still quite strong and can easily cause overheating where there is glass. For this reason windows should be minimized on the west. Where windows fitted to get some natural light it is desirable to use deployable blinds or plant deciduous trees
