Yeah I thought it was the ultimate man shed.. but then it occured that it would be a perfect Mithalwen shed too... Green rooves are nice but if you don't have a proper hill it might tip into Tellytubby land. And this does look very like Tolkien's own pictures of hobbit houses.

A lot of eco houses seem to have hobbity elements becasue green rooves and building into a hill is energy efficient. Sure the prof would have approved.
