The Journey - Tony and the Roundhouse

Welcome to The Roundhouse, it is an ecohome of wood frame, cobwood and recycled window walls, with a straw-insulated turf roof.

The roundhouse was built with sustainable strategies whilst minimizing the environmental impact on the land.

Life in the roundhouse still provides the modern comforts, but in a home that costs very little to live in and is kind on its surrounding environment.

This short film is part of "The Journey" an unique documentary project that delves into environmental, socio-culture and economic issues, with a questioning mind.

The focus of the project is to find and film inspiring ideas and projects over a wide spectrum of individuals and cultures, whilst examining our ability to reform our ideals, and our lifestyle in order to make positive changes for our planet and the human race.

The Journeymen (a person whom travels in order to gain experience, skills and knowledge) go in search of these stories - equipped only with minimal filming gear and personal possessions, they document their experience as they travel to global communities to observe, question and learn.

It is an organic process that grows, evolves and takes its own direction. With no planned route nor destination, the journeymen believe they will connect with the right people and places at the right time to film, aid and guide them on.

The project is currently filming and traveling through the UK. As the project travels short films are uploaded that can be viewed on this website. It is the long-term goal that this project will travel internationally to create a feature length film that will be released, to be viewed for free.

The projects aims to benefit individuals, projects and communities by sharing knowledge, offering solutions and connecting people through film.

It is the hope this project will touch and inspire people, by conveying the beauty within human nature and our world and resonating what is actually possible, when it comes it comes to our ability to change the world for the better.

Love the house, but I can't see my way around the cost of living, particularly in a country such as the U.S. which does not have universal healthcare. If you were to break your leg because a tree fell on you or your house collapsed, you would need insurance, no? How would a bowlmaker afford health insurance unless the bowls sold for quite a lot of money.

[wheelnutt]

Great house. How do you get around the planning regs? Is this UK?

@VonLeachim even though it doesn't link ....
