Some key points of the design and construction:
  • 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
  • Plastic sheet and mud/turf roof for low impact and ease
  • Lime plaster on walls is breathable and low energy to manufacture (compared to cement)
  • Reclaimed (scrap) wood for floors and fittings
  • Anything you could possibly want is in a rubbish pile somewhere (windows, burner, plumbing, wiring...)
  • Woodburner for heating - renewable and locally plentiful
  • Flue goes through big stone/plaster lump to retain and slowly release heat
  • Fridge is cooled by air coming underground through foundations
  • Skylight in roof lets in natural feeling light
  • Solar panels for lighting, music and computing
  • Water by gravity from nearby spring
  • Compost toilet
  • Roof water collects in pond for garden etc.

Excuse moi! I resent that! ;D since when did the tubby's have pretty little windows like that, a sick balcony and rad lighting system? lol

Well at least the tubby custard machine isnt there :skeleton:

that looks like a really nice place to curl up and read lol
 
i could sit on the roof and at the darkest hour of the night, telling my nephews ghost stories, wiv a torch aimed at my face!


*sighs* such beautiful moments are wasted here
 
It looks so magical huh? I'd do anything to live by a trickling stream and watch the sun set by my house made of wood that would never catch fire :-[
 
^ well i most probably will end up living in a place like that so HAH! inshaAllah make dua dont curse me !!

its just a matter of time :p


as if im gnna spend my life in london !!!
 
At times I wish I lived in London, but then I'm glad to be away from the hustle and bustle of City life...I'd settle for the most tranquil tranquility any day :)

I'd be attracted to this place too if it did not remind me of the Tellytubbies' dwelling place.
