UNDERGROUND FANTASY HOUSES

This unique eBook is packed full of design ideas, plans and sketches for building a fantasy underground house. Some folks would call these ‘hobbit houses’ after the charming description in Professor Tolkien’s books. In this unusual digital book, Cornelius Clifford explores how a fantasy house beneath the ground might be constructed. He refers back to ancient and traditional earth-house building techniques used in the past for living underground and attempts to answer questions like:

What form can underground dwellings take?

How to make a round ‘hobbit’ style window?

Are round doors and frames feasible?

How might we dig a burrow house, and using cut and fill construction methods.

Building mound houses (based on tumuli and long barrows)

What method might be used to build retaining walls? (Without using concrete)

How to build a roof structure to take the weight of an earth and turf covering?

Window tunnels to let in light and air.

Panelling walls and ceilings to improve comfort.

Fitting suspended plank floors and how to drain and ventilate beneath them.

Packed full of ideas and inspiration, this original fantasy book will tickle your imagination, and may even inspire you to create your own underground house!

Written and illustrated by Cornelius Clifford, this fantasy book is based around the Hidden Realms

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
