The picture is a screenprint of a house made in Rhino 3D.

It is a round A-house. I have chosen this form, because i want to build a cheap house, but one of the disadvantages of a traditional A-house is the lack of room on the second floor. On the other side, the round roof is self supporting, so that I can build the round shell first, and then take it easy while I build the walls inside.

The house is a model which should end with a ground size of 11 x 14 meters. But I also play around with a smaller house, by the same concept, but only 6,5 x 10 meters, where the second floor only has sufficient height for a low bedroom, with a mattress on the floor.
  Both houses will have a "wall" thickness at, at least 50 centimeters which, with the right choice of isolation and windows, would give a house that are cheap to warm up, and keep warm.

The dream is; that I can build it at my own piece of ground close to the sea but far from the civilization, and that I could be
self supporting with both energy and food. And if I could save money for it, and build it myself, then I might be able to live a good life with very little work, for the rest my life.

Even thou it is my experience that a life without work is a dull gray life - but what is important, is that I can work with things that interests me, while it interests me.
