Win a Book of House Plans
As prize in our first ever competition, we are giving away the book of house plans by Peter Lees (pictured on the left). This book contains a large number design sketches but does not contain finished plans. Nevertheless there is enough information to help you work out what you’d like or not in your house, though.
The competition starts now and runs until the end of August. To be in the draw to win this book of house plans, all you need to do is leave a comment anywhere on this site.
In early September I will draw a a random entry from all comments left on this site. So to have a chance of winning all you need to do is leave one intelligent and civil comment. Multiple comments do count as multiple entries so if you are really keen, feel free to leave multiple intelligent and civil comment.
Also, please remember that if you win I will need to be able to contact you so make sure that you enter a valid email address at which you can be reached with your comment in the “Mail” field.
So go ahead and leave lots of happy comments. Good luck.
Your email will not be published, is only accessible by myself and will only be used for the purpose of this competition.
Rosalba and I reserve the right to judge what constitutes an intelligent and civil comment.
Our decisions are final and no correspondence regarding them will be entered into.

I am currently in the design stage of my own straw bale home, which I hope to erect beginning in the spring of 2009, here in Canada. As I’ve been doing my homework for a few years, now, I find it very interesting to see what the straw bale experience is like in other parts of the world, most notably the US, of course, but also Britain and Australia. I really appreciate the kinds of information your website provides, especially as regards appropriate green technologies and the like. I still have much to learn. Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Terry

Here’s hoping the book goes to the person/persons who can use it the most. From the bit I can see of the book, it looks like it’s not just about house plans, but about the lifestyle. That’s what drew me to straw bale in the first place. It’s all about the way I want to live my life, in the style of house of my own choosing.
Good luck with all of your choices.

My mind is hurting from all the choices there are available to design your dream home! To complicate matters further, we are three generations- my parents and husband and our three kids- all trying to see our dreams become a reality! The book you describe seems like it would be a fantastic resource.
Good luck to everyone embarking on the “journey of discovery” that designing and building a family home really is!
