Natural Home in Oxford Michigan

http://www.freewebs.com/strawbalestudio/

The Strawbale Studio is an enchanting 600 square foot thatched roof studio here in rural Oakland County, southeast Michigan. The studio features strawbale (stucco covered) walls, a round log frame, earthen floor, fieldstone foundation, a loft, and beautiful 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!

2006 activities include reed collecting, Kid's Cottage Start-to-Finish Buildings, Rocket Stove Heated Bench, earthen plastering, natural paints and model making, Radiant Heat Earthen Floor, the construction of a solar greenhouse and Volunteer/Internships. See the Calendar for details!

I am looking to make a Papercrete home here in Michigan and I am meeting with TONS of oppostion from local building code enforcement :-( I want to make my own cheap eco friendly green and high effency home. But here in Wayne county its just not gona happen :-(

@anonymous4849 I wondered how this was able to be built. I would LOVE to have an eco-friendly strawbale home but no idea where to begin.
