Straw Bale House
Residential Home, Bucharest, Romania, (2017)
Project Journey
Earth Safe Design completed building this stunningly beautiful, eco-friendly straw bale house in picturesque Bucharest. The client, a young and thriving family of four, sought a thoughtful and health-conscious abode with a modern touch and Earth Safe Design more than delivered.
The house is an exceptional blend of contemporary elements with a rustic charm. This is thanks to its post and beam timber structure and the traditional materials. Such as straw, earth, and lime, used for centuries in village homes. The client’s vision for the home consisted of an inviting and airy open-plan ground floor, spacious private bedrooms on the first floor. And an additional guest bedroom. The children’s room was cleverly designed to cater to their growth. And accommodate their separate bedrooms as they transitioned to teenagers.
The entire project faced numerous challenges. But the team at Earth Safe Design was actively involved from the initial design phase to the construction of the main structure. And they ensured that every detail was crafted to perfection. With its passion for sustainable construction and green living, Earth Safe Design has confirmed its reputation as the go-to construction company for bringing exceptional bespoke designs to life.
