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.




I want! :'( Pleaseeee :-[

 
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


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.
