The design now is a simple circular floor plan with posts about 2.7 meters apart to suit the size of trees we will use for the beams. There will be a large, at least 1.5m overhang to protect the walls from the rain and to give shading to the south windows in the Summer months. Mick really likes the idea of a central roof light to brighten the middle of our home so we might build one of them.
We had planned to have the roof and floor insulated with straw but now we are thinking of another option of cellulose. We were thinking if we don't get straw bales at all we could have the whole house of cellulose but how unromantic that sounds! "Our round cellulose house". Oh well, I'm sure we will get straw, at least the coming summers straw and we can use it as much as we need so we don't need to make a cellulose house.
