Built in 1995
and occupied in January of 1996, the Claiborne &
Churchill Winery is an environmentally sustainable
and energy efficient building and the first commercial
strawbale building in California.
The 2,600 s.f. winery requires no heating or cooling
due to the passive solar design and the high insulation
value of the rice strawbale walls, a considerable
energy and economic savings both initially as well
as over its long expected lifetime of over fifty
years. The strawbale walls were built during an
old-fashioned barn raising party not only bringing
down construction labor costs but also providing
opportunity for community gathering and cooperation,
a warm welcome for the winery to its new location. |
