H & H Straw Bale Home
We built this house for our friends who wanted a Straw Bale home with traditional Pueblo Style design and a touch of modern design. We brought in Edge Architects to work with our clients and they came up with this lovely design. The collaboration between the clients, builders (us), and the architects resulted in a successfully completed project. Located in the foothills south of Taos the house sits on a high western slope and offers a sweeping view of the Taos Valley, great for beautiful sunsets.
