We have derived six new patterns to deal with the problem that strawbale and stucco walls over 2m in height are not good on western and southern facades. Testing over this winter has revealed that moisture contents are just a little too high for long term comfort. Do you have the same sort of problem? Does a solution that looks like this pattern solve it? Please let us know.

 |
| Verandah all around | Carport on west |
 |
 |
| Two years’ firewood | Vented spaces for freezer or battery |
 |
 |
| Outdoor room | Coolroom/pantry on south wall |
Other patterns that might be relevant to this issue are:
- 145 – Bulk storage,
- 162 – Pole facing area,
- 193 – Half open wall,
- 196 – Corner Doors,
- 198 – Closets between rooms,
- 200 – Open shelves,
- 201 – Waist high shelf,
- 203 – Child caves,
- 234 – Lapped ouside walls,
