This Unusual Tiny Guest House Only Took 9 Weeks to Build

Published: Aug 14, 2018 by itiny · This post may contain affiliate links ·

Want to build your own tiny house, but not up for constructing a wood frame? Here’s an idea: build your house out of cob instead. This mixture of clay, straw, water, and sand allows you to create startlingly beautiful organic structures which are fully customized to your needs.

One cool cob house worth checking out is the guest house for the Deacon Vale Farm. Belonging to Don and Shanti McDougall, it was constructed in just 9 weeks.

The wide overhang of the roof is an essential design choice. Cob can stand up well to the test of time, but only if it is protected from erosion from rainfall and flooding.
