We need to grow #naturalbuilding and talk about this!!
What kind of climate are you planning to build in? Both cob and masonry are great thermal mass but not so great insulators, and best for hot climates.
Wanting to live somewhere kinda colder, I normally think about balecob structures which incorporate a straw bale wrap wall for insulation. The roof is not held up by the wall, but usually by wood posts.
I wonder if posts and foundation made from masonry instead would be possible and something you’d like? 🤔 foundation regardless would be a great place.
