Fordyce Residence

This warm and inviting 2,300-square-foot residence seamlessly blends straw bale construction with an efficient, well-thought-out design. Carefully crafted, it provides a cozy yet highly functional living experience, with an intelligent floor plan that minimizes walkways while maximizing usable space.

The 16-inch-thick straw bale walls offer exceptional insulation, soundproofing, and natural breathability, creating a solid and comfortable living environment. Inside, hand-finished clay plaster walls enrich the home’s warm aesthetic, providing a rich, tactile surface that regulates humidity and improves air quality. Live-edge wood slabs serve as window sills, headers, built-in seating, and a kitchen bar, adding organic elegance and elevated craftsmanship. The home’s earthy materials and textures come together in a design that feels both timeless and inviting.

Built for simplicity, beauty, and efficiency, this residence ensures year-round comfort while embracing the warmth of natural building.
