alternative housing

[fuzz]

Now, i know that aparently "alternative housing " does not belong in the "medecine lodge" category, but i consider that our environment and the way we live in balance with it, can be a great healer.
let's be honest, it is harder to heal when we live in downtown BigCity full of traffic and noise, than it is when we can retreat to a more quite and peacefull environments.

Therefore i chose to put this thread in the Medecine Lodge. if someone has a better suggestion, it is welcome.

Here is to present  a hobbit house, constructed in Wales, by a family, hard hand work and 3000$. thank you Kemp for that inspiring link, it made my day:)

If you're considering building a geodesic dome, read The Domebuilder's Blues.  "http://www.shelterpub.com/_shelter/domebuilder's_blues.html"

Otherwise cob is good.
