Emma Orbach, has shunned society, living in a hobbit-style mudhut

Meet Mrs Bilbo Baggins: Oxford graduate quit mainstream society to live a hobbit-style existence in mud hut in the Welsh hills

  • Emma Orbach, 58, has shunned society, living in a mudhut she built herself
  • The Oxford graduate named her home Tir Ysbrydol, which means ‘spirit land’ in Welsh, where she has banned technology
  • She fetches water from a stream and keeps three goats, seven chickens and two horses

Her straw and mud hut looks more suited to Bilbo Baggins.

But unlike the wandering hobbit, Oxford University graduate Emma Orbach is staying firmly put.

The 58-year-old has spent the past 13 years living with no electricity in her self-built roundhouse, generating her own power and growing her own food.

Living in a Giant bubble House !

  • Swiss-designed Cocoon 1 can be used in or outdoors, in water, attached to the ceiling or even hung from a tree
  • Human-sized bubbles designed to create a peaceful ‘place of retreat’
  • Attachments can be added for cooking, sleeping… or washing dishes

    Feel like you need to get away from it all, but don’t have time to go anywhere?

    Swiss designers have invented a human-sized bubble, described as a ‘place of retreat’ for people who want a bit of peace but don’t want to be completely out of touch.

    The transparent globes made by Swiss designers Micasa Lab can be used in a room, outside, attached to the ceiling – or even put in water. A net enables it to be hung in trees, on buildings, or in a cluster of other cocoons.

    Unbelievable ! Just 4.5 meters square Capsule home In China

    The landlord of this six-storey building divided the building up into 55 capsules.

    For these young professionals fitting into the modern age in China means fitting into a capsule home with an average floor space of just 4.5 metres square.

    The residents in a building in Wuhan city, Hubei Province in China have their bathroom, kitchen and beds all in that one room, often sharing their living space with at least one other person.

    With high rents and low wages in the city, people are struggling to find places they can afford to live, driving them to live in the shoebox ‘capsule’ homes.
