Hobbit House~!

I really want to live here. THE ULTIMATE HOBBIT HOUSE!!



If you dont want to explore the website, Here are some of the highlights of this super fun house~!:

--Dug into hillside for low visual impact and shelter
--Stone and mud from diggings used for retaining walls, foundations etc.
--Frame of oak thinnings (spare wood) from surrounding woodland
--Reciprocal roof rafters are structurally and aesthaetically fantastic and very easy to do
--Straw bales in floor, walls and roof for super-insulation and easy building
--Reclaimed (scrap) wood for floors and fittings
--Woodburner for heating - renewable and locally plentiful
--Fridge is cooled by air coming underground through foundations
--Skylight in roof lets in natural feeling light
--Solar panels for lighting
--Water by gravity from nearby spring
--Compost toilet
--Roof water collects in pond for garden etc.
