Description
Gatehouse is a one bedroom passive solar strawbale guest cottage. High ceilings, shed-style roof and curved layout make this an unusual combination of natural earthy materials and modern techno-architecture.
It features a radiant heat stained concrete floor, thick strawbale walls with deeply recessed windows. The front of this cottage is primarily a wall of windows, bringing outside light fully into this home. The floor plan is really just a curved rectangle making Gatehouse easy build.
