Small, efficient, Straw Bale houses can be affordable, inspiring to build and live in, good for you and good for the planet. Arayasun Construction has developed "Economically Conscious Home Options". A series of small straw bale house plans designed around pure efficiency. These small, beautiful Straw bale designs use simple and effective construction techniques to create a strong, durable and economically practical home.

All of these small Turnkey homes are designed to be expandable and to grow easily as the need should arise. We integrate plumbing efficiency and renewable energy systems to cut cost and waste.
