Natural Habitat

Designed by Anni Tilt and David Arkin of Arkin Tilt Architects

This home is featured in the newly released book “The New Strawbale Home”. It is a truly green home, and one that makes a limited claim on the Earth’s resources. This stunning and inspirational home does not isolate its residents from one another or from the surrounding environment.

This four-bedroom house is a showcase of environmental innovations, beginning with its modest size. The smaller claim on resources of all kinds is where building green really begins. At 1,860 square feet, it is 470 square feet smaller than the average new American house, yet it feels open and unconfined, and more than big enough for a family of five. The kitchen, living and dining areas share one generous space with differing ceiling heights, from an intimate 8 feet to a lofty 16 feet, to define each area.
