When you look at this lovely house in the Welsh countryside, you may think it's a picture from J.R.R. Tolkien's book “The Hobbit”. In fact it's a real house designed by a real person.

When THEY first son was born, Simon Dale’s wife, Jasmine, said: “I wish we THEY in the country. It would be so good for the baby”. However, they THEY enough money to buy or rent a house in the country so they decided to take matters into their own hands. The house THEY by Simon himself, with a bit of help from his friends. The result was impressive. The home is made from natural materials, such as wood, stone and mud. It uses solar panels for energy and its water THEY from a nearby spring. It took Simon four months to complete his fairytale home. He managed to create a modern wooden eco-home – one of the THEY houses you can imagine. Simon Dale said, “I THEY working on a new house of the same eco-style. My THEY house will be smarter than the first one. My son THEY five now and I hope to celebrate his tenth birthday in a new house.”
