Simon Dale, with the help of his father in-law, has single-handedly built this low impact Hobbit house in the woodlands of West Wales. The eco-house, which rose from a muddy hole in the ground and took three months to complete, came in at under US $5,000 (GBP3,000) – demonstrating that you don’t need to be architectural school graduate to come up with the goods. There’s no need to be envious, however, because Dale will give you the plans and know-how to build your very own.
