Que pasada! Nunca vi una casa mas linda, más armonica con la naturaleza y más calida en mi vida! Es una verdadera hermosura y una verdadera obra de arte llena de creatividad y sostenibilidad! Es maravilloso que haya personas como estas porque son la esperanza de este planeta para sobrevivir....

@1977wildflower Hi, Glad you like the Woodland Home. Simon's web address is included in the video and in the info section. You can contact him via his website. He is now building at Lammas[dot]org[dot]uk in Wales where you can join others learning and helping to build there. Join facebook[dot]com/naturalhomes too. Simon's house is just one of many other beautiful natural homes.

wonder how it inside a house like this at -20 degrees and 1 meter of snow outside?

can it hold 1 meter of snow on the roof?

[naturalhomes]

@azmodanrom Answer to the first question is warm and cosy, straw bales are very good insulators, and the second: it's a reciprocal roof which is very strong as long as the roundwood timbers are suitably thick.

They are hero's of mine.. thank you for putting together a better view of the house and adding the captions. I have since designed fence/livestock/dry wood storage structures to replace conventional ones. The wheels never stop turning once you have seen this kind of success. There are many ways to use this idea!!

Extremely rustic looking. Love it. Now all I need is some spare wood, an ax, a hammer, and a free weekend.
