Chrysalis Residence
This farm house in Avalanche, Wisconsin was built almost entirely from
trees taken from within 500 yards of the house. The house features a
slab on grade foundation with in-floor heating tubes to take advantage
of the solar gain in the winter from its large southern exposure. The
envelope is straw bale with WholeTrees round timbers as the structural
system. Branching columns offer support and frame round wood poles
under the second floor and roof. The attached solar greenhouse on the
south side of the house adds heat in the winter and serves as a grey
water recycling system to treat water from the kitchen and shower. The
trees which form this structure came entirely from the farm grounds and
they were skidded out with the farm draft horse.
