Mayne Island Cob House

Mayne Island Cob House

I have just returned to work after a wonderful rollercoaster 15 months of maternity leave. So for the last week we decided to rent a small cottage in the middle of no where and it was total bliss. It was a small one bedroom barn conversion just outside of Llanidloes in Wales and it totally won our hearts. We are both now dreaming of a simpler life in the country.... so expect loads of tiny country cottages coming up on Moon to Moon!

For starters I have found this place...

 This beautiful 600 ft² Cob house in Mayne Island, was supposedly the first Cob house in Canada. Although small it is perfectly formed! I just love that warm wooden ceiling in the bedroom..... wouldn't the rain would sound so lovely up there?

Not only are Cob houses such as this eco-friendly but they are also pretty cheap to construct, the original construction cost of this beautiful home was around $56,000 (designed by Cobworks.)

 This home is available to rent on airbnb here

The Beautiful Wooden Dome House In A Forest

 My goodness, this place is just heaven isnt it?

This globe house is made out of mainly reclaimed materials and although situated in a forest the large windows allow for plenty of natural light to enter the home.

Unfortunately my source for these images was a secondary source so minimal information could be gathered about its location, owner or architect.... I f anyone knows more about this beautiful globe please share in comments
