I admire people that have that sense of art and creativeness. Very peaceful and Beautiful.  For me I just couldn't get past feeling small, like a hobbit (not that I need to feel big or know how a Hobbit feels) but maybe that was the purpose, fairy tale IDK.  Appreciate you sharing, his work and vision. I am to big a guy! have to be a much bigger dome so I don't beat up my body! lol

I love the giant window-wall.  Thanks for sharing!
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

That is completely charming. gads, I love hobbit houses.

So now I have to wonder how that construction will hold up in wet rainy Thailand. And wouldn't it be very close. The windows are charming but doesn't look like they open, where tie corss breeze?
Hot and humid there, I'd say.

It just gave you a nice feeling watching the video.  It somehow reminds us all of what we really truly need.  (Not as much as we think).. Makes you want to de-clutter at home!!  Yes, I wonder how something like that would hold up here.. our weather is harsh on things!

I like small, intimate spaces with lots of light.  In my opinion,  this "house" feels cartoony.

But, I'm just an old stick in the mud.
