Fairy Tale Houses - Extraordinary Cob Home


This stunningly beautiful tiny home with sculpted cob walls looks out over the banks of a small stream in Somerset, England where the local dialect still has remnants of the Anglo-Saxon language. The home is the work of Lisa and Rich who built the house with clay from the stream that runs just out of view in this picture. They collected roundwood of Pine and Hawthorne thinned from the local woodlands to build the frame of the home.










The roof of Lisa and Rich's home is tiled with cedar shingles. The walls are straw bale on the north and east  with sculpted swirls of cob on the south and west.

















Rich is an artisan woodsmith and made the unbelievably beautiful window and the door.
