This beautiful tiny cob home sits on the banks of a small
stream in Somerset, England. Recently the little stream became a
torrent that burst its bank and flooded the house but the stone
stem wall protected the cob and straw bales and its drying out.
Lisa and Rich built the house with clay from the stream and
roundwood Pine and Hawthorne thinned from the local woodlands. The
roof is tiled with cedar shingles and the walls are straw bale on
the north and east with sculpted swirls of cob on the south and
west.
