Affordable Strawbale Homes
PAKSBAB, a non-profit organization, is building these earthquake resistant small houses in Pakistan. They measure 25′ by 25′ and can be built for about $2,250 in materials. Also read about PAKSBAB on Inhabitat.
Building With Awareness – Strawbale Houses
You don’t see too many really tiny straw bale houses but there’s no reason why you couldn’t build one. It would probably be the most insulated and thick walled tiny house around too. Stephanie at Coming Unmoored wrote up an article this week on the folks at Building with Awareness who specialize in straw bale construction techniques and education.
Natural Tiny Homes
The folks over at naturalhomes.org have put together a nice summary of 10 tiny natural tiny homes that they’ve come across over time. These homes are all made from things like strawbales, cob, and earthbags and they are from all around the world too.
Another very cool feature on the natural homes website is a tiny house map. At the moment there are 29 tiny houses mapped and I’m sure they will add more over time. Be sure to bookmark naturalhomes.org and if so inclined follow naturalhomes on Twitter.
