  1. I’m hoping to build a cob house. Pre Columbian architecture (think Gaudi curves and nature elements with a feel) some of it is remarkably similar to some old / roof homes in England. To hobbit in. I did help build part of a cob wall once… it was in a warehouse for a music studio. Prior to today it was going to be an A frame triangle/alpine style house… so who knows in the end what will happen. But I love the sculptural elements this will afford.

    Clay + sand + straw.

  2. Thatching uses the rain’s angle of descent against it. The material isn’t in itself waterproof, but it guides the drops from the roof’s surface to the ground. It’s gravity judo. I watched the thatch going up on this row of cottages. It was weirdly restful.
