This is the Wobbly Hobbit—a 300-square-foot tiny house studio built by Brent using a mix of cob, stick frame, and ICF (insulated concrete forms). The pentagon-shaped structure features a green roof, masonry wood stove, homemade wine barrel furniture, and a separate shed with shower and composting toilet.
Built in British Columbia, Canada over six years with help from friends and professionals, the total cost came to approximately $50,000 CAD ($35,000 USD) including appliances. The studio also collects rainwater—abundant in the temperate rainforest setting.
Pentagon-Shaped Hybrid Construction
The Wobbly Hobbit combines multiple building techniques: cob (clay, sand, and straw), stick framing, and insulated concrete forms. This hybrid approach allowed Brent to use each method where it works best.
