Rice Hill Bale House
This off-grid straw bale home sits atop one of the many knolls wrinkling the landscape around Rice Hill, Oregon. A rich collaboration with the owner/builders and the local landscape, this home uses site-sourced oak posts as primary members in the frame. The home is insulated with straw and in the process of receiving it’s three coat lime plaster skin. The construction process for this home has been an example of how owner/builders and general contractors can work together in diverse ways to build a home.
