This design incorporated straw bale and corrugated iron construction on a steeply sloped block. A covenant insisted on a rendered or masonry street frontage so naturally straw bale was chosen. The client specified an unusual "harled" effect of small quartz pebble thrown into the top layer of the external lime render. The Interior is finished with the classic lime render finish. Note the window ledges in the straw bale wall are deep, showing the characteristically luxurious sills, eager for a window seat or plants.
