As the first major project on the ranch, the cabin

would be a prototype to show community

members the Strawbale system and to have a

multi-use space at the ranch that would ultimately become a residence.
Building on pre-existing conditions of a foundation and frame, we started this project as an educational course from which we continued to build on.
The process was slow due to the limitations on personnel and the re-routing of resources for different priorities of the NGO. However, with the arrival of two family members that volunteered their summer, we took big steps in finishing the second floor and roofing. Later on, we prototyped clay stuccos and tried different methods until we found one that has stood the test of time, using only natural materials.
