Straw Bale Building

 This building was created to provide a work space for my flower essence business. It is relatively small but has a most restful energy and I have placed a name on the floor at the entry point called Maakoha which means tranquility. The exterior of the building has been lime rendered and the inside is clay rendered. The clay was not sealed or painted, but will be shortly as there is a problem with mould. This is in the process of being rectified.


The construction process was time consuming but most enjoyable. The attached photos show Nick, Roger and Andrew who magically made this building evolve. The next phase is landscaping around the building. I have done some planting but there is more to come, and a labrynth will be part of the landscape, along with a paved outdoor area and pizza oven.
