STRAW PANELS
We are a part of the 2026 New Frameworks Seed Program!
We are training with the best to design, manufacture, deliver, and install straw SIPS - structural insulated panels - here in California.
We still love straw bales, but we want to build your walls in less time and without all the mess!
We’ve framed and stuffed houses the old fashioned way, and while we believe there will always be a place for site built straw bale houses, we are very excited about embracing the future of straw insulated buildings. Fabricating panels offsite means that we can do things in a more sensible order - with more efficiency and accuracy. And for the homeowner, it means the house goes up in less time, and without all the noise of onsite framing.
Our panels are integrated into your custom design, meaning that you can work with your desired architect or local builder, and we will deliver your walls when you’re ready to install them.
If you haven’t assembled a team, we are available to create a custom design for your family or property project. Basically, we can be a part of the process at any stage, from design to completion - it all depends on your specific needs.
For this endeavor, we have assembled a talented team of collaborators:
Luke Lombardi
Structural Engineer and Sustainability Consultant
Juan De Risio
Architectural Designer and Natural Builder
Katherine Karnezis
General Contractor and Farmer
We are thrilled to be a part of this growing network of folks dedicated to bio based, local, and regenerative construction, and we look forward to delivering our first projects in 2027.
