plans for a strawbale office?

Anyone have a link to some plans/drawings for a small (72-120 internal sq ft) strawbale structure?

I'd like to put up a quick building to use as an office/toolshed this winter.  My thought was to frame it with bales (load-bearing) on a rubble/rock foundation and standard lumber/metal roof.

I'm thinking a door on the east side and a window on the south side.

A basic PV starter setup with a single panel should give me enough power to keep my laptop and tethered cell (for internet) in power for 8 hrs, plus enough for an LED or CFL desklight.

If it works out, I can put a layer of cob on the interior for some thermal mass along with a pocket rocket stove if necessary.  For the exterior, may a thin layer of cob or just a thick plaster to finish it. 

If it doesn't look like it's holding up well, I can salvage the roof, door and window for a later structure.

any thoughts?

over 50 plans here starting at 140 sq ft

Hi Jami,

I like the 6 different units that make up the 480 sq foot "compound" plan.  Seems like a smart way to go.  Their 7.5' x 10.5' units may be the best layout I have seen so far.

Wish I could convince my wife that we should build our main living quarters like this...

Their "vault" 140 sq ft design is interesting, too.  I wonder how they attach the corrugated roofing?

His plans do get you thinking, it's a very good jumping off place for building designs.  However I agree with your wife - I wouldn't cook in a separate building, heck I may not even cook with the kitchen as part of a great room    But I do see the advantage to avoiding the building permit. 

I have no idea about how he does his roofing on that much pitch, but you could Google attaching corrugated roofing and see what pops up. . . . .

To me seems like a great idea to cook in a separate building. Heck with these silly open plan houses these days, you try and do anything in the kitchen and you wake everyone in the house. Or you add cooking smells to the whole house, which my wife complains about especially for bacon or something....  In separate building you can  make as much  noise and smoke as you want. Separate building for sleeping, eating / socialization seems ideal.
