The Green Lane
Heart House Mark 2
This is a revamped version of the Heart House featured in "The Hand Sculpted House." Note the bale-cob hybrid construction; the surface of a bale is visible just below the blue tarp on the left.
This technique makes for walls that have a way higher R value (the walls are highly insulative rather than depending so much on thermal mass of cob).
As noted in most literature about cob, the building feels much larger once inside.
