In 🇲🇽 MEXICO we have these homes, most of the old haciendas houses were built from Adobe! Keeps homes fresh in the summer and warm in the winter 🙏🏻
Love Mexico! 👍😎🇨🇦
We have the same in india too.
Dang AleJinoo wish I could come to Mexico to see some
Love the Cobb home all Natural wood and Earth Mudd base Home'#$
@@allendiller your one airplane ✈️ ticket away my friend 🙏🏻
This home has more character than any of the million dollar homes I've seen here in Florida. It just looks so inviting and warm. And it has everything you'd need.
It’s in British Columbia, it’s probably over $1 million.
@@msch7620 Land has gotten crazy expensive here for sure, but this cob house was only around $100,000 to build in 1999.
@@Kit-o-matic3000 Everything was cheaper in 1999. 😞
@@msch7620 I was about to type that in too. 1.15 now it's been 2 months and island land has skyrocketed.
@@Kit-o-matic3000 lol
I love how she explains all the flaws like cracking and maintenance.
with a pretty manly voice😱🤭
Agreed! It’s really helpful to know the flaws so others can design to mitigate or eliminate them!
This is great! I have a mud home in Australia and I will disagree on one point and say its easy not difficult to make changes after building. If you need to put electricals in you can chisel a channel in the wall for cables, recycle the chiselled waste by remixing with water and more manure and plaster back into the channelling and then cover over again with your favourite render, mine being limewash!
Dude, that already sounds like a lot of work. Lol. And this is coming from a tradesman. XD
@@rashie81 you are probably right, homes can be quickly and easy built but there is definitely a real charm that comes with a crafted home using raw materials. I'm not a tradesperson like you, so I had to learn as I went along and after nearly 30 years I still live in the home I built and I continue to enjoy the satisfaction that came with spending the extra time to complete things just the way I wanted.
So cool James!
@@rashie81 Hi there o7 You can do that in an instant with the right tools. It will only take some time if you do it by hand, with no electric tools.
They really use manure ? I don't think id want to make my house with that! I've heard of the other basic cob materials though not so bad,lol.
In India such houses have been made in villages for at least 4500 years
I remember as a child visiting my aunt in New Mexico who lived in a cob home, I also just love it when people do beautiful art work with glass bottles. The wood work is just beautiful
The sad reality Climate Change is accelerating the drought cycle and 63% of the western half of the united states is in a drought.
The people working together, the process, the home, it is all so beautiful!💚😌🌻
I want a cobb house now. This is wonderful.
I simply love this home. I wanna hug the wall lol
This looks nicer than a modern "super mansion" outstanding work!
You'll find that the typical grandmother from an Indian village can make these materials and structures; they use cow manure, straw, and mud to create the base materials. Pretty cool to see this in BC.
Just don't build it on the wet coast it will melt... Lol
@@hemidart7 Mayne island is on the West Coast of Vancouver Island near Victoria/Sidney area
that's actually the first thing I thought about when I saw this build. Know where I first saw the dung/straw homes in India? Zoboomafoo. It's a kids show that my son used to love. I learned a lot about animals and different places from that show. :)
Cow doo doo?!
@@hemidart7If you have the walls well away from direct rain and snow, I believe they hold up really well… it’s the splash and constant contact that create the issues.
Wow what an incredible and beautiful home thank you for sharing
I love this house! It's my very first natural home, that I discovered back in high school. I just absolutely love it! It's so good to see it pop up online now and then. I hope to see it in person some day.
It reminds me of the beautiful snow white cottage. Love love love this home 🏡
This is so insightful! I hope this quickens the evolution of the building code, permits, and building inspections to quickly and accurately assess what is not "in the box". Because many things are structurally safe that are not included.
There's a funky little street near a funky little town, Comox BC, has half dozen little funky little homes.
Mushroom, Mother's boot,,
So adorable, can't recall the name.💝
I’m so in Awe, with this Lovely Little piece of heaven. 🥰😊🙏❤️ what a gem.
Thank you for explaining everything. The good, not so good and better. It truly is a step in the better durection!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
It's beautiful house.. I kinda love it
It's labor intensive and fun but there's a lot of love put into these cob houses! Absolutely stunning!
It's really unique, the woodwork is beautiful
Beautiful place. I would love to rent something like this for a few days as a B&B and see how it feels to actually live in it.
In some south asian regions these are very common, and similarly built by the elderly (often the ladies bc the men are out farming), family, or community exactly like this, its fun to learn that this is such a sustainable way to make houses now that I live in america, i never realized they were doing eco living down there
This is simply wow!! Muddy,woody,cosy and home home like🌸🌻🏵
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea we could live like this in BC. Hope it is holding up with the extreme weather.
Yes I love to see this in BC as I would love to make one some day here :)
We can still find these kind of Houses here in South Asia..and most of them are older than my parents some are hundreds of years old..... it's amazing and pretty easy to maintain once you grasp the concept....also it feels so good man
Yes, cob homes have an awesome feel to them that feels like a friendly quiet hug somehow… supportive and uplifting.
It’s a wonderful idea.
amazing home
A suggestion. My good friend, has a place, built with a lot of cedar and stone. Against a cliff, in Garden Bay BC. Lovely place, like this one. The stone tub/shower, was not a good idea. There is too much mass in the stone, to have a warm bath. It doesn't matter how much, hot water you put in. The heat, goes into the stone.
Wow. That's a shame. No baths in such a lovely home otherwise. Thanks for the tip.
Place the tub against the back of the main fire. When I lived in a stone built house it took a week to properly warm up from a coal stove that stayed lit. Once the stone walls were warm it took them a week to fully cool down when the stove was allowed to go out for trips away.
A stone tub will draw heat from the fire and then act like a radiator to warm the bathroom. It won't get hot enough to burn anyone, like a small child.
@@michellebyrom6551 woah that is really smart, by back to back do you mean there would be the fire place or stove behind the wall directly behind the clay wall? or does the stone have to be touching / a part of the fireplace or stove?
@@minerchick1258I would think you’d have to buffer it a bit so direct flames are not heating the stones.
Adorable home
8:00 - that little breakfast nook looks so relaxing and cool.
This is brilliant. I have not had such good information quite as quickly provided about sustainable living as I have here. Thank you for the inspiration and the ideas. Party on 🎉
I have been an advocate of COBB ing since first seeing the home on utube that is near Victoria, B.C.
I am also an active advocate of living on Paradise Earth!
Have been collecting helpers to help fill this dream, what fun!
Gooooooo! COBBERS!!!!!!!
Cob, straw bale if also slicked with clay to retard possible moisture issues, hempcrete, sandbag house… all such awesome natural options that can mitigate energy needs when built snd placed optimally.
My, what cute little goats at the end of the video…
It's very neat
Absolutely gorgeous!
What a lovely looking home 🏡!
Beautiful dreamy house and garden. I wish i could live in a place like this.
Totally charming!
Beautiful
Wow that's a beautiful home 🏡
Eye window made me feel happy too! Thank you for sharing your home and thoughts...
The house is beautiful!
Also no one is talking about the hilarious promotion at the end for LMNT... good job y'all, it made me laugh! 😊
Made me laugh too! lol
This is my favourite cob home! The space and layout of the home and the natural setting are perfect! :)
I cannot adequately communicate just how much i like cob homes. So beautiful! Congratulations on a beautiful home and thanks for sharing!
In Iran most old houses even some castles were made from mud. But there is a negative aspect to it. It is not resistance to earthshake. Generally not that resistance.
Oddly enough, I watched a video in which they built a small sample cob house on an earthquake simulator, gradually turned the Richter number up, and were flabbergasted at how the house stayed standing, even after cracking.
The resistance part may be true, but the damage is probably a lot less as well? My mom said they used to just crawl out of these buildings when it collapsed!
@@mswonwongoAnd you can probably use all the materials from the broken house by softening it and rebuilding the whole structure, maybe with improvements you wanted too!
Beautiful home
That is a beautiful place. It is too small, but man it looks really comfortable.
We stayed here a few years back. It was a beautiful place and a wonderful getaway 🙂 10/10 would go back
charming and beautiful house :)
This is awsome. I would love to live in a Cob Cottage.
Wonderful! Really love to stay there!
Does anyone remember hearing about the housing kits you could order from the Sears Catalog? Every piece of lumber, hardware, glass, roofing and doors would come delivered by truck to the site. Just thought I'd throw that in.... Cob is nice but I love log cabins myself. Thanks for sharing.., 👍
Craftsman's homes.
Me too.maybe build 1 for plants whe. I start small house living lol.
@@Krisp138 👍
You can combine the two and have the best benefits of both. Hempcrete is another awesome option that also breathes and has great natural insulation properties, but without the need to be so careful about rain.
I love best home. It's so cute and beautiful
I love this cob house... I wish I could live there 😍
Very lovely. Love the cabinets, floors etc. Very cozy and inviting.
This house is simply amazing! I'm in love!
So beautiful house
I wanna live here. Such a cozy vibe oh my goodness!!
Neat, one love.
Chains for directing rainwater are also common on traditional Tirolean buildings in the Dolomite Alps.
What happens when the snow and ice come? Do they form huge icicles from melt freeze alternations?
@@louisegogel7973 I've only been there in the summer - but I would assume that the water on the chain would freeze, thaw and refreeze. Unless the gutter overflows, there would be nothing for an icicle to hang from as the chains go all the way down to the ground..
i love it and it is meaningful because you do it yourself
Fantastic Alexis, so well explained, so interesting. It remains one of the loveliest buildings on the planet.
I want this...so beautiful and cozy home💖
I love this! Beautiful.
Ok this is so cool! Love it so much!
Fabulous looking home. 😊🇨🇦
OMG! Me want!!! And I absolutely love the communal effort. It does look like great fun making mud pies with friends and neighbours. Little music... sounds like a great day.
And the children can help!! I was pregnant with my third child and the older two helped with a cob house in Massachusetts.
Very beautiful and artistically inspired.
Very Nice! 🤍👍🏼🧡👍🏼🤎👍🏼🪴
Adobe house. Half of the houses on planet Earth build like this
This is how Maasais in Kenya build....i am in Toronto and looking forward to building one in Kenya too...
Love it!
Thank You very much ))!
Your home is lovely, as is your sweater/vest/shawl. I’d love that pattern!
Beautiful house ❤
Cob is the oldest, cheapest and insulating material that humanity used for thousands of years also it's eco friendly and in the summer is cooling
This is awesome! We are building something similar here in SE Arizona…hyperadobe earthbag building with cob on the interior and exterior…we are just starting out, so this is very inspirational! Thanks so much for sharing :)
How’s it going with the house?
I didn't think that there could be cob houses here in the NW. What a lovely home.
Man, I love it!
I come from a once poor village in India , my dad became an engineer so we stay in cities but visit our village every vacation . My dad has 4 brothers , almost everyone has now shifted to a cement house . But there's a 2 room mud house that still have not been broken down ! And guess its a 70 years house now. My dad and uncle have kept it as it is in remembrance of my grandparents who used to live in that house. My eldest uncle along with his family still live in it most of the times. When I go , even I sleep there with my cousins ! Its a lot more fun , and trust me we never felt cold/hot in that room ! There are some cracks that can be seen , but the house has stood 10 or more cyclones now , the area is heavily cyclone prone ! Today we see cement house getting broken down ! Trust me we have been brainwashed to believe only poor live in these house. Infact I can see the opposite , the house doesnt affect nature , is strong and durable even after receiving so much rain , you would save a whole lot of electricity bill ,the mud acts as a temp managing agent and so on . Plus guess , a whole lot of money saved on bags of cement , toxins and shit !
May the trend be for going back to the “mud” (cob) houses, rounded to allow high winds to pass easily around and with lovely strong overhangs that keep the wet off the walls.
I love this concept and it is lovely
wow ! It's beautiful
It's beautiful
A very nice home!
I want a mud hut now
I adore this home! 👍💜😎🇨🇦🌲🔥🌾
yay Mud Girls, never quit!!!!
This is the way to go, helped with many alternative housing projects in OZ hopefully this will become more mainstream in my home BC
Amazing information, thanks for sharing.
Very cool!
what a beautiful and inspiring home! i also appreciated hearing about what worked well or not, looking back in hindsight. so many lessons to be learned. a question: i live on the west coast of north america also along the "ring of fire" :-D, and i'm curious what measures were taken to mitigate against earthquakes (i'm assuming this would be required by the building inspector). i'd really love to build an earthen structure, but building one which can withstand substantial seismic activity seems to be the tricky part (for those in earthquake zones).
@jra You can look up a seismic shake test on cob that was done at University of British Columbia in 2002. The shake table used in the test broke but the cob never did. A well constructed, round cob wall is an incredibly strong monolithic mass. 👍
It's a post and beam structure.
Meaning, the posts and beams have to stand up to earthquake stress, which is easy.
The cob is just infill, between the posts, and has no structural value
(It actually does, but the bldg dept won't recognize it as such)
Wonderful!!!
Beautiful idea and home. I love your take on life 😃
Fantastic
This is epic!
I love this!!!
So gorgeous! Is like living in a mushroom.....you are smurfs....
Rain plus mud
0:47 The more accurate name for Cob would be "composite adobe" - - and that sounds more modern too
