Straw Bale Village Building Plans

This page will evolve with the open source project-launch blueprinting of the Straw Bale Village. When they are finalized, this page will include the free-shared and county approved complete building plans, Revit, AutoCAD, and Sketchup file downloads, and all other building plan aspects of this village. We are first refining and demonstrating the open source strategy and detail we’ll use for this with the 3-dome cluster crowdfunding campaign, we’ll then expand this process as we open source the complete Earthbag Village (Pod 1) and Duplicable City Center®, and then we’ll do the same for this village and the other 5 villages.

OUR CURRENT FOCUS IS ON THE EARTHBAG VILLAGE
