On this site, 'my straw bale dream', I'll share the home I envision, and all the dreams it contains.
I dream of a straw bale home, maybe on the shore of Kootenay Lake. Peaceful, surrounded by trees, off grid, designed with permaculture principles. Straw bale houses are well insulated and have large window sills for plants. They're made from a renewable resource: straw.
Mine will be furnished with antiques: those beautiful, sturdy postcards from the past that require no new resource extraction. They'll have exquisite antique fixtures. All materials used will be non-toxic. And I'll only make my home as large as it needs to be. Each room will be properly oriented to the sun, and the mood will harmonize with its function. The colours and layout will be chosen with care.

It will be quiet, nurturing, a place of love and sustenance.
On this site, I'll share the images, resources and materials that inspire me most. My hope is that they'll inspire you too.

Hi Diana

Greetings, Roland Meier
I'm humbled, Roland. This is the best of both worlds - a beautiful home in which you can travel. Are those solar panels that fuel the craft? Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteAs I can see in the website, there are no motors to travel. The energy is needed for light, water treatment etc.
