After 10 years here on our land, we are finally building our house. We had previously built a workshop from straw bales, but due to many considerations, decided to use a different sustainable technology for our house. We chose SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) with a crawlspace below the floor. The stemwall was formed using ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) which are left in place and provide 2 inches of foam insulation on both the outside and inside.
Here is a link to the floorplan in PDF format. Sorry it is rotated, but that was the only way I could export it from AutoCAD to a PDF that everyone could open.
Here is a link to the floorplan in full AutoCAD LT DWG format for those of you who can use that. Much easier to manipulate than a PDF file.
The construction has been done by Pleasantview Carpentry, with whom we are very pleased. Contact us if you would like to contact them.

October 14: This web page was getting so long, I separated it into several other pages. Each of those groups are the same as what was originally all here on one page. As I add more pictures, I will add more groups so that this page loads faster, and if you have seen a section already, it will be easier to bypass it.
