“The Holiday Apartments Straw House – farm Holiday
The strawbale house was constructed with jumbo strawbales allowing superb insulation and a healthy, very comfortable atmosphere. The appartements have been arranged with all natural materials such as wooden furniture, terracotta-flooring and clay walls. The room atmosphere is magnificent, and is enhanced by large windows, light colours and decoration. The appartements are ideal for families, friends or a couple wanting to spread out. An little fireplace makes evenings in the mountainous surrounding cosy and warm.
Special features
Our strawbale house is a beautiful prerequisite for perfect relaxation: luminous and spacious as they are, and paired with perfect room climate due to all natural materials the appartements enable complete wellbeing.”

Thanks to Cliff for another great tip.
Here’s a house built in Australia with jumbo bales and a steel frame.

I like 1 meter thick walls. I don’t like the need for a crane though.
