design is also discussed in architectural texts such
as 'Reciprocal Frame Architecture' by Professor Olga
Popovic Larsen.
Tony
has built about twenty round houses around Europe
using either cordwood or straw bale each with reciprocal
roofs. The most recent of Tony's houses was a round
wooden woodland shelter in Longwood, near Lampeter,
Ceredigion, Wales in July 2009 (See the film below).
Tony

low-impact round house. You can read all about their
house, and how they live, on his web site thatroundhouse.info.

for a Low Impact Society'
Tony
will be building a cordwood
round house with reciprocal roof at Green Hamlet.
The project will begin on the 5th July 2010. Contact
