Built by a structural engineer, my neighbors’ house divides opinion. The straw bale walls are covered with lime, the color of which was determined by the temperature when it was applied. I love the texture of the lime and the door. C’s sister said, “When will you paint it?”
@odd The straw is certainly warm, and the lime fire resistant. I think the frame is steel. The lime has cracked in spots, though.
@tracydurnell I know, right? C’s sister also came from Ohio to the high desert and complained that there weren’t enough trees.
