Building with Nature: a Hobbit Hideaway

A 12 minute documentary of a Hobbit Hideaway built using the local, renewable materials of wood, stone, straw, clay, lime and mud.

It is unique and beautifully built in Scotland by natural builders and educators Hartwyn Ltd. They shared the process with students in a pop-up learning village from June to September 2018. Hobbit Hideaway opened as a unique holiday home in March 2019.

  2. Hello,
    I would love to build my own house this way in Marloth Park, South Africa. Do you have plans for submission for a simple roundhouse made with bags? The security aspect is my top concern and interest.
    Thanks!
    Lenor
