Nowadays, architects are building more and more ecofriendly buildings in the UK for people to
live, work and study in. Let’s look at a weird and wonderful eco-homein Wales and an award-
winning eco-school in England and see how they’re making our future greener.

The Hobbit House
In rural Wales, there’s an eco-village with nine houses in it. They all use
the most up-to-date green technology and environmentally-friendly
designs. The Hobbit House is one of them. With its round structure,
grass roof and hillside location, it actually looks like the home of the
famous hobbit, Bilbo Baggins! The house uses natural and recycled
materials, like wood, stone and mud. It has straw in the flor, walls and
roof for insulation. Plastic sheets and mud on the roof keep out the
rain. The grass on the roof also insulates the building, keeping it warm
in winter and cool in summer. The roof has features such as solar
panels to provide energy and skylights to bring in natural daylight too.
There’s a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen with a
fridge that keeps cool, thanks to a supply of cold air from under the
house. The building is a really impressive structure and its design
means it’s very good for the environment because it causes hardly any
pollution. There aren’t many homes like it at the moment, but
hopefully there will be in the future.
Science
The eco-friendly school
Howe Dell primary school in Hatfild is doing an experiment to make its
building harmless to nature. For the pupils, helping the environment is
very important and they do everything they can to be green. This
includes going to school on foot and developing figerprint technology
to replace library cards in order to save paper. The design of the school
includes thick walls and windows to reduce heat loss and large
windows to bring in lots of light. Solar panels heat the water in the
bathrooms and canteen, and a wind turbine provides electricity. The
roof is covered in plants that provide insulation and it’s also a living
classroom for pupils to study the natural habitat of insects in biology
lessons. The school is always thinking of new ways to be ecofriendly: it
has toilets that flsh rainwater, sinks made from recycled plastic yoghurt
pots and desks made of drainpipes! It really is an example of what
other schools should be like. It’s important to be green for our future,
and it’s often the small changes that make a big difference.
