The modern world is getting more eco-conscious by the minute so it is only natural our places of residence will do the same. The major progress in the society of today is getting more aware about the main issues of green living spaces.
We are informed by every possible online and offline source about the most eco-friendly ways to build, renovate or improve our homes and is no wonder that common concepts of ecological buildings are one of the most sought and developed topics available today.
Cob for example has been around for ages, and also for ages people have been using it to build homes and other types of buildings almost trying too hard to prove that the mixture of clay, straw and sand is not something frail that can easily be washed down by the rain.

Cob is something enduring and eco friendly, a smartly engineered stuff able to last through centuries. The proof of this statement is the Cob house in Cornwall, England that has been around since the 15th century and it is inhabited even today without major modifications.

What makes the cob be so valuable? Well the chemical composition of the material is simple and so is creating building out of it. The modern cob building enterprise has started as a project but currently holds an impressive number of cob homes built on private commissioning.
Perhaps the 18th century considered Ferdinand Cheval an eccentric if not a mad man when he chose to pursue his dream of creating the Ideal Palace, a fairytale castle built entirely out of stones.

 

It probably took him ages to gather the amount of rocks of all sizes from big to tiny until he gathered enough to raise from the ground this amazing palace.
The history has seen this building survive over two centuries and still meeting safety regulations to be visited today by curious tourists.

Maybe the Ideal Palace is not a gothic cathedral but it is for sure a temple dedicated to eco friendly art built in an age where ecology was not yet born as a concept. Such a proof of consciousness can only make us consider differently our building skills and strategies.
Progressive architecture is a concept born only recently. The way it was developed and the targeted buildings that are carrying it are part of a trend that is sweeping over the countries creating new concepts able to develop living spaces that are both eco-friendly and low cost, enduring or able to easily be renovated or improved.

This type of progressive architecture has as target 0 carbon foot print, the complete eco building strategy including insulation, air circulation, low energy consumption and all the safety regulations imposed by architectural laws.

The Timber and Stone Two Houses project in Slovenia offered the Superform building enterprise the opportunity to bring into the world this exact example of progressive architecture. Look at its amazing beauty, its multifunctional design and add all the other above mentioned benefits. What more can we want from a house?
