Cob Houses Around the World

2008 December 11
by Grace Boyle

The idea of living in a cob house is still very whimsical to me. It’s efficient, inexpensive, cozy and environmentally conscious. From my past two posts on Building a Cob House and the follow-up with the Mullenneaux’s I focused on the building of their cob house and then what it was like to be living in one. Today, I thought it would be nice to visually represent a few beautiful cob houses from around the World. Please feel free to share yours if you live in one, know of someone who does, or stumble across a cob house that I haven’t.

    @ Melissa, I know aren’t they so quaint and unique? It’s such a phenomenon and I really think that building cob houses is so interesting. Thanks for stopping by, Melissa!
