I have to agree with you. Though if you look carefully at the two penultimate pictures (the three windows and the bookshelves) you can see that a significant portion of the house is under ground level, so at least they made an effort. And the comment under the circular door photo mentioned also needing a standard door to conform to code, so perhaps a fully underground house would have some code issues with roofing or walls or some-such.

There is a separate article focusing more on the owner than the house in the news section of TCG, here.

By the way, welcome to the site!

Not to say it doesn't look cool or is very nice; but, that is a cottage with a round door and windows.

Thanks to Dior's eagle eye, I was able to collect that Australian calendar. Received it this week and created an entry on my website for it. It is an excellent calendar. The illustrations are great, the production quality is top notch, and it's simply different from all of the others that I have collected. Could not find a website or email address for the illustrator, so have written (snail mail) to him to find out more about his work. Does anyone here know of Colin Williams (Annandale, NSW, Australia)?

I see now how to get notifications for the forums, but it would be handy to have similar for different sections of the guide... a weekly or monthly digest maybe rather than notifications for each update.

Feel free to experiment on my email address.

Wow! He forgot how to spell his own name!
