Gorgeous!It just occurred to me how insane it is that this would probably not meet most building code laws---a beautiful soulful loving healthful space like this, yet it is perfectly within the laws to abort a child. Somethin' just ain't right y'all. When do we get back to sanity? Peace.

I'm so jealous that is just beautiful ans whimsical did you buy it or build it.

I'd prefer nuclear concrete... just kiddin. It's an inspiration, well done folks.

Oh, that would be the place to live happily everafter! One can see he put love in the making of every inch of the project!

how beautiful. I can't imagine how much work and time went into this. I don't think I'd be able to do it... maybe one day I'll build a cob oven or a small meditation house... maybe :) .

Thank you for the answer. It can really be pretty.

Great name!

It will melt in heavy rain--after a hundred years or so! The cobbing process basically creates sedmintary stone. The clay and sand form a chemical/mechanical bond and the straw hold it all together. But the real answer to your question is: a good roof and possibly a stone facing along the bottom to deflect any backsplash.

Actually, we were just visiting. The wonderful fellow who designed and built it is Meka and his contact info is listed next to the video somewhere. He's an incredible person!
