Homes Made from Recycled Materials

Cob House

Where: Rutledge, Missouri
Made From: Sand, Clay, Straw
To build his snail-shaped “cob house,” Brian “Ziggy” Liliola used 219 batches of cob, a wet mixture of straw, clay and sand. He chose the rustic building material used on 500-year-old thatched cottages in England, because of “how creative you could be” and “the flexibility and low cost and sustainable benefit” of building with local materials.
