Strawbale Studio INDEPTH INFO.
The Strawbale Studio is an enchanting 600 square foot thatched roof studio in rural Oakland County, southeast Michigan. The studio features strawbale (stucco covered) walls, a round log frame, earthen floor, fieldstone foundation, a loft, and sculptural artwork. We hope you enjoy reading about the history of the project and learning about upcoming events and opportunities. As you begin to immerse yourself in the art of natural building, we hope you can come plerk (work + play = plerk) with us on this evolving adventure! www.freewebs.com/strawbalestudio
In 2004 & 2005 the State of Michigan Energy Office helped to fund the educational work of this project (publicity, exhibits, presentations, workshops, tours and hands-on training). This "Community Energy Grant" (Green Building Catagory) also partially funded the Kensington Kid's Cottage in 2006. Visit the Strawbale Studio Case Study by the State of Michigan Energy Office
