The Strength of Straw
In the military, there is an acronym Jon loves: KISS — keep it simple, stupid.

And in many ways, that philosophy shapes EarthCraft’s approach: Deeply complex design guided by uncompromising simplicity. EarthCraft’s service area spans Idaho and every state touching it, with projects or consulting in Oregon, Utah, Arizona, and new opportunities in Texas. Their builds range from 500-square-foot ADUs to 7,000-square-foot custom residences. Contrary to common assumption, straw bale construction is not limited. “You can build small, you can build big, you can go multi-story, multifamily, even commercial,” Jon says. “Straw bale has a two-hour fire rating. It handles moisture and vapor drive three times better than standard walls. It just works.” Today, the project that best represents EarthCraft is a 2,500-square-foot custom straw bale home with 1,000 square feet of outdoor living, built from raw land to finished dwelling.
