The Canelo Project is a small non-profit organization dedicated to exploring truly sustainable living systems including housing. The founders, Athena and Bill Steen, are also well know authors of books like The Straw Bale House, Built By Hand
, and Small Strawbale
. Every year they teach workshops and offer tours of their homestead which is located in Canelo, Arizona.
On their blog, The Canelo Chronicles, they record the regular happenings including this recent workshop where they built a tiny 120 square foot strawbale structure. Most strawbale homes you’ll find online tend to be much larger so this was a very exciting find. Photo credit to the Canelo Project.
