@kirstendirksen In tropical climate (heavy rainy places) you have to maintain the walls. And you don't use the straws. The biggest worry is termite which after a half a lifetime causes building collapse. I have never seen it multistory like this, it might be because the ones I've seen are made of clay mixed with fresh cow dung with wooden pillar frame. @19irving look up thatched roof.

Can this house be built in a damp climate? Will it survive heavy rain?

@19irving You need a good roof, good floor (& good drainage underneath) and exterior plaster to protect from rain/moisture. There are centuries old cob homes in the UK (traditionally they used lime plaster). Though I'm no sure about spots where there is a lot of rain that enters at an angle (constant rain that hits the walls and not the roof might be a problem). I'm not an expert so I added a video as a response- "Natural buildings don't melt" - where Michael talks more on the topic.

That house is amazing. More textured, and authentic than these corporate homes.

@AleekahTV Yeah, and inside it feels different as well. It was a really hot day when I filmed and it felt really nice and naturally cool inside (not like with AC).

this is what we call 'power to the people'. has to come back to us, else these giant multi-billion/trillion dollar companies will snatch it away, just the way they snatched away our houses -.- i hope to do this one day.

@faheemthedream2007 Yeah, I was pretty blown away by the idea that you can build your own house with so little training: a week of training to learn how to build with cob. I would love to build this way at some point as well.
