I’m hoping to build a cob house. Pre Columbian architecture (think Gaudi curves and nature elements with a #handmade feel) some of it is remarkably similar to some old #cob / #thatched roof homes in England. To hobbit in. I did help build part of a cob wall once… it was in a warehouse for a music studio. Prior to today it was going to be an A frame triangle/alpine style house… so who knows in the end what will happen. But I love the sculptural elements this will afford.

Clay + sand + straw.

I've decided it's time to part with my beloved Beehive Cottage in Somerset. This part-thatched beauty sits next to the 14th century Nunney Castle (yes, with an actual moat!). #cottageforsale #nunney #somerset #periodproperty #thatched #castleview #historichomes #villagecottage #countryliving

Thatching uses the rain’s angle of descent against it. The material isn’t in itself waterproof, but it guides the drops from the roof’s surface to the ground. It’s gravity judo. I watched the thatch going up on this row of cottages. It was weirdly restful.

Burns Cottage in Alloway. The image shows a road in the foreground with a white cottage beyond the pavement on the far side. It has two brown doors and three windows, with brown shutters. The roof is thatched and there are two chimney stacks. The sky is blue.
