Featured is a Low Impact Woodland home, self constructed by Simon Dale and his family. Definitively worth visiting.


"This kind of building is accessible to anyone. My main relevant skills were being able bodied, having self belief and perseverence and a mate or two to give a lift now and again".

Wow! I'd love to believe that!

Some of the eco features include:
a skylight to let in natural light
solar panels to fuel lights and electronics like a cd player and computer
a refrigerator cooled by air coming underground through the foundation
water supplied by gravity from a nearby spring
collection of roof water for use in the garden
a compost toilet

Hi Irene!!
First off, Of COURSE you can use the Irish Blessing from my blog comments. It's there to be used!!
Now....
about this home! Isn't this just way too awesome? I love this. I love the whole concept. And the interior is just so astoundingly beautiful...to call this "home" would be a dream of mine. Wow.
Apartment therapy is too big for me. But this house is simply amazing. What a dream!
What a lovely home you have showcased. Hootin' Anni sent me over to look....she knows I'm a real Hobbit fan.
