This summer, we will be embarking on a very exciting new adventure: builing a strawbale Barn+stUDIO- the Straw Budio! This will be the new hub of activity for the for Ecological Design.
We will use the space to host workshops on natural building, ecological design, art, and living.
It will provide a critical workshop space with all of the best tools and equipment for building: a woodworking shop, welding area, 3d printing zone (with one BambuLabs CarbonX1 and a massive Elegoo Orangestorm Giga), CNC/laser zone, LED and electrical fabrication area, and computer area. It will also have a full bathroom for our guests!

New natural-building International Residential Code (IRC) updates for 2027 are in the works for hemp-lime and strawbale. Bio-based building methods and materials are getting professionalized, thanks to some housing code warriors who have been working for 15 years to standardize natural materials and methods.
