This 800 sf straw bale timber frame is located on a remote site near Missoula, MT.
Constructed by Redfield Construction, with help from the homeowners, this house features recycled timbers and posts cut from Larch trees on the property.
The unique curved front wall faces South to maximize passive solar potential and take in 180 degree views of the surrounding landscape.
The straw bale infill walls provide a durable, thermally efficient wall system that makes use of an abundant, rapidly renewable resource, common straw from the Bitteroot Valley.
The walls are finished with a natural earth plaster giving them a soft, organic feel the fits comfortably with the timber frame, as well as the surrounding landscape.
