Cob

Cob

Definition

A natural building material made from subsoil, water, fibrous organic material (typically straw), and sometimes lime.

Interpretation

Mud with memory. Cob is ancient, sculptable, alive. It invites hands to shape walls like potters shape vessels โ€” each curve telling a story. It is building as embodiment.

Living Invitation

Touch soil or clay today. Imagine shaping it into a wall that holds laughter, warmth, silence, and sleep. What would it feel like to live inside something you made by hand?
