Put your feet up and watch a lovely little film from Undercurrents about natural building.

  • WOW I WANT ONE OF THESE MY HOUSE IS FALLING APART LOL

  • @AMULDARRY You're welcome =)

  • @VasilyKiryanov thx for the good answer ..have a great day ..greets from germany

  • @AMULDARRY Shurely it is possible. One just have to waterlock the basement properly, and the roof overhang should be wider. About 0,6 - 1 meter is usually enough. Depends on predominant winds. It's also a good idea to have cornices hanging at every storey for a multi-storeyed house, like in traditional chinese architecture, which was originally designed for humid climes. And, the territory around the house would better be drained efficiently.

  • hello....wonderfull house i like it ...is it possible to build a cob house in rainy regions like northern germany aswell?

  • Wonderful video, beautiful building. I'll watch this again THANKS!

  • @roenie1 But if it's built considering all passive house building rules. To use as much solar energy as possible.

  • @unickgodess Thank you for your answer :D You live in rumenia as I can see from your profile. I´m from estonia :D

  • @lilleke013 I tell you how is,I am from eastern Europe.Here all traditional houses are made from cob,in winter are warmy,in summer is cold inside.I speak about normal house-3-4 rooms,normal size.Modern houses are not made from cob and people who live in have problems in summer,is hot inside.So,this is the best house:COB house.In winter we make fire in evening and in the morning is still warm,cob walls have this advantage to keep constant temperature inside.

  • beauty!
