Hobbit House Ideas


In my opinion, a "hobbit house" should have the following features:


Enough strength to be your HURRICANE SHELTER


Antique ship's porthole window(s)


Door (antique-style w/overhang) on north side of main house for access


Steampunk-style furnishings


Porta-potti/composting toilet


H. R. Giger-like features inside (organic look)


Build an aquarium into one wall (open to sky, w/closable cover for cold)
    Aquarium could be behind a porthole
    Closable cover would also provide hurricane protection


Have a large fishpond next to this Hobbit House


Enough headroom (maybe 2 meters) for me or someone taller


A small workbench with vise, grinder, etc.  (Thus also a small workshop!)

Could be built of CBS blocks with antique stone facing


Alternatively, use flowing sealed POLISHED (rubbed?) concrete for all walls
    Also could be poured concrete roof with sod/ground cover on top


Approx. inside dimensions of 15ft x 15 ft?  (Maybe more?)
