Tour de Bale – This Sunday!
Visit 10 Straw Bale Homes in San Diego County
Did you know that there are 56 straw bale homes in San Diego County? Ten of these homes will have their doors open for a self-guided tour this Sunday thanks to the CASBA, the California Straw Building Association.
Five homes on Tour de Bale have been designed by Hubbell & Hubbell Architects:
- Deer Park Monastery – Nuns’ Housing in beautiful setting in Escondido (4 strawbale buildings under construction)
- Friends Center – gathering space in central San Diego (not technically a house, but it is home to several non-profit organizations)
- Dunham-Kidwell Residence – in Jamul (features a large boulder inside)
- Shimeall Guest House – in Borrego Springs (the first straw bale structure permitted in the county)
- Gonzales Residence – in Poway (a modern house that is up for sale)
The Tour de Bale runs from Noon – 4 pm on Sunday, May 31st.
Tickets are $10 per person, couple, or family.
