About this deal
Each architect-designed house, whether demonstrating innovative ecological design or shoring against the elements, explores a different facet of woodland living across a huge range of countries worldwide. We’ve touched on the advantages of living near a forest, now it’s time to touch on the disadvantages of staying near the forest.

Many "forest people" are not hermits at all - like the Swiss "Diesel-Sepp", who liked to drink his beer in the nearby village.
