Living Building

Wixford, Warks. view map

I stumbled across this unusual building in the corner of the churchyard of St Milburga's Church; the photo below is of the plaque and explains how this building was made...it's remarkable!

Friday 3rd's entry to the July Challenge; click here for other Pbasers architects this month

I suppose it was a cosy place to sleep! The birds must love all the twigs :)
A delightful setting & very interesting shot!

Hello Doug.
I also have a shot of this building, but can I locate the file?? No.
Wish I'd known you were around. I would have popped up to meet you.

I love it. We should build more this way. Nice combination of natural colours.

Looks "living" itself. Does it need trimming occassionally?
Phillip Normanton03-Jul-2009 21:49
What a cool find!! Does it have plumbing and central-heating?? :o)

Cracking shot for the challenge, I bet we don't see another one of these on the challenge

Was there not a danger that the horses would eat it? A great find.
Walter Otto Koenig03-Jul-2009 20:01
Wow, what a find. Great sharp details. I've never seen anything like it. So organic and green. I suppose smoking is out of the question. Easily the most original entry so far. "V"
