THE COB HOUSE

an ode to the beauty of cob and straw bale eco home building. "Cob, cobb or clom (in Wales) is a building material consisting of clay, sand, straw, water, and earth, similar to adobe. Cob is fireproof, resistant to seismic activity, and inexpensive. It can be used to create artistic, sculptural forms and has been revived in recent years by the natural building and sustainability movements." --Wikipedia I have made a promise to myself to build and live in a cob house someday. Here you will find a collection of inspirations for this dream home of mine... *PLEASE NOTE* I do not own any of these photos, but I am more than willing to give credit where credit is due

Small cob house in BC, Canada.

The cob walls with wood stove make a wonderful warm conversation / reading area .

The cob house experienced severe damage from a tree that fell through the roof after a wind storm. The fallen tree was locally milled to provide wood for the new 2nd floor. Build by the Mudgirls.
