Beautiful. I wonder whether that "organic" Hobbit-like look to the roof reflects thatching, or some modern material that's crafted to look like thatch.
I'd like to know if the homes are built on actual soil? It appears in the photo's that each of them are sitting on some sort of man built platform that soil placed into it. Then again I see some really large trees growing on what appears to be either river or lake banks. Does anyone know the answer?
I think you'll find that it's just normal thatching.
