This Modern Earthen Mansion Is A Design Marvel!

In this weeks' natural building tour, we visit La Casa De Da-Vid in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. La Casa De Da-Vid is an incredible roundwood timber-framed cob and straw bale hybrid that took 7 years to build. This home is an excellent representation of how we can utilize various local natural materials to maximize efficiency while simultaneously creating beauty. In this home, the straw bales serve as an insulative envelope that regulates temperature and humidity in the home. Cob (a mixture of sand, clay, and straw) on the other hand serves as thermal mass and allows for sculptural elements throughout the home. To learn more about the home visit spirit-rider.com. In addition, the home can be rented through AirBnb and can be found by searching La Casa De Da-Vid in Wrightsville, PA.
