Hybrid Cob House in Asheville, North Carolina

Online Cob House Building Lessons: http://bit.ly/1Hl2IU2 Another great stop that I made in Asheville, North Carolina was to see some projects that Steve O Brodmerkel (AKA “Stevo”) had been working on. Stevo used to be the head builder at Ashevillage and has run several successful natural building workshops in Asheville. I visited his suburban home where he was working on several renovations and natural building projects. When he bought the home about a year ago from the time I visited, the home was covered in overgrown plants and was nearly impossible to move through. Stevo literally made paths through the yards with a machete. When I came to visit he had transformed the house from its messy state into a very nice home. He had done some nice renovations to the inside and had applied some natural finishes to several of the rooms too. What really stood out to me was the small building out in the back yard. It was a small round natural building that he and a workshop group had built the past summer over the course of about seven weeks. It was a demonstration of how to build with conventional materials and natural building materials and integrate the two formats together. A portion was pure stud frame, transitioned to straw-clay, wattle & daub, and then to a full cob wall. For more cob building tips and how-to lessons visit: http://bit.ly/1fxnby2
