Unique Straw Bale Home in Lake Hāwea

Area: 180m2

Floor Install: Floortago >>

Photography: Storyworks >>

A combination of timber finishes, including HARO Engineered Oak Flooring, helps to create a consistent look in this environmentally friendly straw bale home near Wanaka.

Harking back to the traditional materials used in homeowner Jill’s childhood neighbourhood in England, this house in Hawea Flat was created using straw bale construction both for exterior walls and for many of the internal walls. The result is a cosy and calming atmosphere inside and a home that retains heat passively, helping to leave a minimal footprint on the environment.
