If there’s one thing we thought after watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, it was, “I need a hobbit house.” Aside from tricking an architect to design one for you or trying to sneak your way onto the movie set in New Zealand with your suitcases, it seemed like a pipe dream. That is until Green Magic Homes creeped up on our radar.

This magical company specializes in little arched structures that are made using “fiber reinforced polymer modular components” that are apparently incredibly durable, flexible and waterproof. Promising to create whatever you want in the most eco-friendly way possible, GMH basically makes interconnecting pods that they then cover in plants, meaning you can have an herb garden growing right on the side of your home.

“Utilizing vault geometry and curves, the earth berms and roof cover actually collaborate with the strength and stability of the structure, adding thermal mass and providing carbon recycling, oxygen production and airborne pollutant removal. The technology is designed to adapt to any type of topography, either flat with moderate land slopes or steep slopes, and can be bermed against a hill to blend with the environment.” Since they become part of the earth, they are actually tornado and hurricane resistant, and are stable enough to survive earthquakes. They can also be made for a variety of climates, including desert and snow.

To get your very own custom design, the company charges only a dollar per square-foot and a minimum order charge of $500. At those prices, you can make your dream vacation hobbit house in a snap.
