The research paper looked into the possible application of rice straws in the field of residential architecture in Zhejiang province. The paper evaluated the three rice straw-related building methods. Based on the result, light straw clay was selected for the design project located in Zhejiang province. Then a relevant landscape-sensitive residential project with the design objective to create a village for both tourists and local villagers is designed to create a synergetic model for the village. The tourism development based on the local rice industry will in turn benefit the rice industry by increasing added value.
