I felt the need to put this video from Grand Desings, this is without any doubt the best design on the program and aparantly the favorite also to Kevin McCloud. For more information about this house project and the man behind it visit www.ben-law.co.uk

It’s interesting that some people who grew up with the big consumer machine running (& ruining) their lives, are now going back to basics.
While countries like China, who’s people lived with so little for so long, are becoming what we were.
@persebra
its worth nothing coz he can never sell it. if he sold the charcoal business and land, he’d have to take it down.
but its priceless at the same time – to him and his family. its so beautiful.
ben law is a legend.
really balanced, humble and peaceful.
i’d love to meet him and work with him – i’ve read all his books.
its amazing how content he is without just pursuing money.
i stayed in a house he built in may 2011 local to where he lives – amazing place and i’d love to live in one permanently with my wife and kids.
ben….your amazing!!!
absolutely gorgeous! how much do you think that house is worth?
Owwww wow look at your toiler…Lets smell it…LOL.
@mrnimble I wouldn’t be able to get the permits to do this. Regulations and time tables on construction force you to the banks nowadays.
absolutely beautiful
@patrick10001 Many
Nederlands Dutch 
@mrnimble And why so man Nederlanders move to Germany xD?
it blends!
I praise these people so much!!!!
@magua73 Thank you for replying! I do wish you luck.
@mrnimble We should be able to deside how we live for our selves. I know i will bild something similair. Im NOT going to ask anyone if i can do this, i will.
I hope many people will join by just doing that and ignore the rules. Its our own live!
Power to the people!
I love this house. I want one Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase….
@dourakigia Well, at the moment it is in standby due to other reasons in my life. But the burocratic nightmare it is still there am I afraid.
@magua73 umm, here in the US not too much better either…so, what’s the answer? all become outlaws overnight? i don’t think they’re going to “give us permission” to do anything more towards freedom anymore…this is a global clampdown, a boot stomp to the face of humanity…they call it the New World Order
Such a beautiful home !!!!! They will just have to add on to it now that they have a baby. They need a room for the kid. And once the baby is a toddler the steps and the upstairs bedroom will be a little dangerous (too open). But if this guy can build such a dream home, he will be able to figure something out.
Great work!
@mrnimble
We live in good old Germany too. And it is possible here as well. Somewhere I actually found a link with pictures of a guy who did build an organic house in Germany. Just cannot remember where the link was…. It will be a fight probably, but it is not impossible. And even in the UK and in Wales people had a lot of fighting before they could build a home like that.
Thank you for posting this, I remember seeing something on BBC America right after he had built this house, and to find this fallow up is awesome.
@mrnimble Its the same here in the uk not very many get to do this,this guy slept outside for ten years befor he built this.
Omgggg I love this
Built like a true man. Well done Ben.
Lovely!
I am so incredibly jealous I can’t stand myself.
This is the only true really organic way to live! why does those in power make it so difficult to exist this way??
