I estimate 1000-1500 man hours and £3000 put in to this point. Not really so much in house buying terms (roughly £60/sq m excluding labour).The house was built with maximum regard for the environment and by reciprocation gives us a unique opportunity to live close to nature. Being your own (have a go) architect is a lot of fun and allows you to create and enjoy something which is part of yourself and the land rather than, at worst, a mass produced box designed for maximum profit and convenience of the construction industry. Building from natural materials does away with producers profits and the cocktail of carcinogenic poisons that fill most modern buildings. Main tools used: chainsaw, hammer and 1 inch chisel, little else really. Oh and by the way I am not a builder or carpenter, my experience is only having a go at one similar house 2yrs before and a bit of mucking around inbetween. This kind of building is accessible to anyone. My main relevant skills were being able bodied, having self belief and perseverence and a mate or two to give a lift now and again.This building is one part of a low-impact or permaculture approach to life.

@naturalhomes Thanks, I’m aware of… This video is a free poetic interpretation … I am a fan of Simon Dale!

Nice video, nice music BUT the pictures in used here are from two different homes although they are both homes built by Simon Dale. And… it’s not called the ‘eco house’ it’s called the ‘Woodland House’

Great house.

Beautiful work. The irony is we think of this as the green future….when really it’s a return to what we did before, in this case sod houses.
