A fan of hobit stories has built a ecological house in which to living close to the nature with his family. Simon Dale from Wales, Great Britain has raised a house only from clay, stones and rocks that covered these with grass and muscle. Besides the fact that this is a imitation of a hibit houses, the little house is perfectly functional.

Solar panels produce needed energy for electrical equipment, and water flows, with gravity help from a nearby river. The toilet is ecological, composting type, characterized by the ability to transform the garbage in rother. The stored air in clay help to maintain low temperature of the refrigerator. In addition, the house looks sensational.

This type of low cost houses that are not only sustainable but are comfortable and allow people to have access at clay to grow vegetables or fruit, showed Simon Dale. He said about him that is not a builder and has no experience in this field, but that such a building is accessible to anyone.
