What Is a Cob Building?
A cob building is a structure which has been built with the use of cob, a building material made from a blend of sand, straw, and clay. Cob has been used in construction for thousands of years all over the world, with cob building being associated in particular with many areas of England and Ireland. This building material is similar to adobe, a material native to the Americas, and structures made from cob have endured hundreds of years of continuous use.
