I stepped out to the store for a moment, Okay? It sounds like you took some sort of red pill on housing since #610.
Straw bale construction = vermin. With any luck you'll get Badgers.
Think about
cob construction for walls. With generous roof overhangs.
First floor: rammed earth; 2nd floor hardwood with area rugs (no shoes); 3rd floor (cupola/observatory) shag carpet that runs up the walls.
Overhead, you want a hi-tech material like
ETFE in pillows inflated with argon or dynamically inflated for light shutters.
What is ETFE » Domerama
On to concrete: aircrete is cement mixed into water and Dawn dishwashing soap at 200:1.

Steve Baer's Zomeworks is still around.
Zomes are different than domes.
Any questions?
