Students at Waterloo’s School of Architecture have formed a housing co-op and are planning a straw bale house that will house 10 students.

This is the brief description of the co-op and its mission:

The Grand House Student Co-operative is an incorporated, non-profit, housing co-op, with the goal of demonstrating sensitive aesthetic and environmental design, promoting innovative living and exploring both traditional and alternative construction methods.

They have designed a straw bale house and have a “buy a bale” campaign going on.
