“The Swiss version of the Shire is the Earth House Estate Lättenstrasse located in Dietikon, Switzerland, which is where all of the exterior images in the article gallery are from. The company, Vetsch Architektur, has built dozens more similar homes across the country, which is where the interior images are sourced from. The Earth Houses are so called because they’re designed to reside within their environment, blending into the natural contours of the land rather than merely set down on top of it. They’re also covered with clumps of earth, which makes a lot of sense in terms of insulation, though such a design will clearly not fit in with everybody’s aesthetic sensibilities.”
