Hello All


I'm consulting with a non-profit (http://www.yinnovations.org/) to  build an affordable straw home for a low income family.  Their current engineering was provided by someone unfamiliar with straw bale building and is coming up pretty short of being a low carbon, sustainable, or natural design.  So we are moving to a straw cell design to help ease any engineering and building official concerns about the straw bale part.  My question is-- does anyone have a good straw cell wall detail drawing they can point me to or donate to the effort?


Y Innovations, Inc.<http://www.yinnovations.org/>

2903 North Jefferson Street 2903 North Jefferson Street is a 4500 square foot vacant lot in the city of Wilmington, where Y Innovations will be completing a 630 square foot naturally-built straw bale home in 2018.

Thanks
