Natural Building Materials

Ok, so I have this strange fascination with natural building materials (Straw bale, rammed earth, adobe etc) so I was particularly excited to read this article this morning about a cob house in Seattle. I'm not very enamored with the inside of their cottage (a bit claustrophobic, perhaps?), but I was stoked that they had the article, nonetheless.
I've been doing some light reading regarding natural building components and gray water system and here are some useful links:
