I made this model out of modeling clay according to one of my Cob House designs. I still need to design and add the roof.
I made it according to the scale of 1 inch = 2 feet. It’s a good size home with central living area (can include a wood burning stove), kitchen, bedroom, and office.

Fascinating!!
How would a cob house hold up in a rainy climate like on the Oregon Coast?
Thanks

Hi Tei,
Oregon is actually full of cob buildings! It’s very popular there. It’s kind of the hub of cob building in the United States.
As long as you have a good overhanging roof and foundation, or “hat and boots” as some like to call them, a cob home can do very well along the Oregon coastline.
Look up the Cob Cottage Company. They are located in coastal Oregon and have tons of experience building with cob there.
Hope that helps!
