The house is built into the hillside. The walls and floors are made of stone and mud, and the roof is made of wooden beams from trees. It is also an 'eco-house' because it uses natural resources like water and energy efficiently. They have a wood burner to heat the house and big windows in the roof to let in natural light. They also have solar panels to provide energy for lighting and music. They collect rain water to water the garden in the summer. **Word study Materials** Find and write down the materials the family used to build the house. **Talk** What do you think about this house?
