- Опубліковано 16 гру 2017
- Tour one of the most famous (and beautiful!) cob buildings in the world! The Unique Cob Cottage is on Mayne Island, BC and is the 4th most wish-listed property on Airbnb.
Unique Cob Cottage on Airbnb:

The Cob Cottage is a fully permitted, 2-storey, load-bearing cob structure that was built by Cobworks in 1999.

Cob is an environmentally friendly mixture of clay, sand, and straw that can be used in many different climates to create green buildings with organically shaped walls.
To learn more about cob as a natural building material, check out the video we share a couple of months ago:

This cottage is on the grid with a well, septic tank, and hydro power. They use a woodstove for heat.
We felt super lucky to be able to meet Alexis and her family, and tour their cob cottage. It's an incredibly beautiful space and we hope you enjoy checking it out.
It's nice to see so much interest in green buildings, and to see that this cob structure has been standing for almost 20 years and still looks brand new!
Maintenance on the cob house is done by Bryce from Dreamweavers Collective:

I am from Moldova, all the homes în our villages about 100 years ago was made in this way. This home is fantastically wonderful!
no u not
tanyacastro1977 you too are fantastically wonderful Tanya.
How the mud protected from melting in rain ?
farkal nine I think it is sealed and the roof is not cob.
Share few house videos
There is something that feels warm and appealing about this building. It is organic, naterial, stress releasing.
My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary! It was absolutely wonderful, we loved the chickens and the sheep! It was a fantastic stay and the owners of the property are so kind. They gave us milk and homemade bread and eggs from their chickens. Love love love it there!
Chickens that make their own bread? What will they think of next?
@@canadianroot Ignorant remark.
J. Barnard Not at all. Yours was, by definition. Best of luck with your new job as UA-cam’s comment critic.
@@canadianroot It was a very ignorant remark and you know it. 🙄
@@canadianroot they think ,they will use gold denar & silver derham to be their money,then when the currencies collapse they will be the King of the world. & My new job comment on comments hhhhhhhhhh
This is my dream. To one day be able to design my own place out in the woods that can cut down on waste and use recycled materials. Then be self-sustaining.
also me
And me
Me too
I think you need some permit or something
humans, are not self sustaining.
Whimsy! That's what's missing in today's usual designs. Well done.
I love cob homes. I plan to build a cob home for myself in the future.
Vhorsesr
Me too. Build a little village with my kids.
How could you dislike something is beautiful and organic? -_____-
I love how everything is rounded, feels very mutual very balanced~
I know... Something about rounded is so aesthetically pleasing and soothing.
Reminds me of the smurfs playhouse I had as a kid, so cute!
😄 😍 💖. True 😆😆😆
Cobb houses are whimsically cool 😎
This cob home is absolutely beautiful, I’d love to live there.
Beautiful home. *Perfect for the peaceful life in nature.*
It's good that the owner is renting out the house to visitors. In this way many more people can experience this home from inside.
Cob buildings with bamboo fiber, or hemp fiber, or carbon fiber would be very strong. Might be even stronger than the concrete that cracks from temperature changes during the winter time.
Oh, my gosh. I love this place! It's so cozy and comforting.
I really like this cob house. It looked very cozy.
Have a great day, Chris
Looks so much like a story book house 🏡 and that’s the reason it is loved. It speaks of a simple happier time with less worries fun and imagination makes it exciting to think of actually living there.
So Builders do your best to make more of these always keeping these qualities in mind. They will sell like Hot Cakes
I agree☺ I love all the windows and wood and curvature and how it just seems to flow into the outdoors Almost like an outdoor living space with a roof over it
Thanks for watching today! Hope you're all doing well :)

Out of everything you have shown us I think this is my favorite!
What a beautiful home. And built out of cob! I love the whimsical feel and the size is perfect.
Centuries old traditional knowledge rediscovered. To revive this knowledge more designer houses shld be built of this Once common, Indian rural homes were mosly built of this material, though basic not designer such as this one. Villagers believe clay keeps house cool in summer, warm in winter.
Love the kitchen counter how it's curved to get bigger toward end. I just love everything about . Only thing missing is a swing!
Сказочный домик и природе никакого вреда.
Hi, I wish you would have introduced yourself.
This building material in Germany is known as leicht lehm (light loam), except the same material is pressed by hand as a filler between post and beam construction, or pressed as an infill into a woven lattice of branches or slats of wood. That process is called wattle and daub in England.
Beautiful and simple. I LOVE cob!! My dream to one day live in such a home.
absolutely beautiful . very warm natural feeling.
It would lift my happiness living here.
