Building a House, Outside the Box

  • Private Residence (map)

Step inside a work-in-progress and see what’s possible when a home is designed around healthier materials, local craftsmanship, and environmentally conscious building.

Balecraft founders Sophie and Ellis invite you into their personal straw SIP home for an open house showcasing the people, materials, and ideas coming together to build it. Explore straw SIP construction, clay-plastered walls, and wood-fiber cement foundation blocks, sustainable windows and doors, custom cabinetry, locally sourced tile, and more.

Get up close to the hands-on work being done by local makers and tradespeople, including SmithyWorks, TC Millworks, Tile Craft, and local Amish roofers. Because great design isn’t just about the finished product - it’s about how you get there.

Free & Open to all; RSVP required.
