HOBBIT
HOUSE
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.

WHAT
IS A
HOBBIT
HOUSE?
A hobbit house is a home created in the earth, or covered by the earth,
which is used to insulate the home. A wall of windows bathes the home
in natural light on its exposed side. A thoughtfully designed hobbit
house can be extremely energy-efficient.
