Building an entire house for less than £150? It is possible! Micheal Buch's house has been build almost exclusively with natural or waste material. He paid only £150 - around US$200 - to create this beautiful cottage right next to Oxford. This eco-friendly and functional home reminds us Gallic huts. Guided tour:
|
Wood-heating system , natural light only , walls painted with a mix of chalk and resin plant , water coming from a very near natural source , no electricity: difficult to be more eco-friendly!
|
|
The house is mainly made out of clay , straw and manure.
|
|
Floor , windows , everything has been salvaged.
|
|
Sober decoration , still very cosy though. |
|
The cottage even displays outdoor compost toilets |

It took two years to Micheal Buck to build his house. He didn't use any electronic device to achieve it.
|
|
Sober shapes and curves , which reminds of the most talented architects. Herebelow is the bubble house. |

Visian bubble house reminds of Buck's cottage interior. Contrary to Buck , Visian only used concrete and asked dozens of building workers to work on it. In addition , the ecological result is beyond compare. |
