I found this post recently on Apartment Therapy -- a Welsh family who built this home into a hillside. They are not trained as architects or designers. They are just regular (albeit odd) people and were able to build it in a few months!"Some of the eco features include:
- a skylight toilet in natural light
- solar panels to fuel lights and electronics like a cd player and computer
- a refrigerator cooled by air coming underground through the foundation
- water supplied by gravity from a nearby spring
- collection of roof water for use in the garden
- a compost toilet"
"See more photos and read more about the house and the building process at Simon Dale's website. What's next for this family? They're participants in the Lammas project - along with eight other families, they'll be swinging their hammers again to create Wales' first self-built eco-village."

Man. I love this. I especially love the lighting in the last picture. Am definitely going to check out their other projects!
