As soon as I saw these pictures of some cave houses on my favourite "green" website,
The Daily Green (I talked about it
here), my mind flew to the most famous Stone-Age family: The Flintstones. Looking through the pictures, I couldn't help seeing similarities to Fred and Wilma's house.
However, it is not just the design factor that contributes to their appeal, but also their functionality. Being carved in stone, and generally located in remote places that often have water sources nearby, the inhabitants of these homes enjoy such perks as no water bills, no heating or cooling expenses, along with low risks of fire or earthquake damage. Surprisingly enough, these houses can be found all over the world, from the desserts of Australia and the sandstones of English towns to the Mediterranean countries as well as such American states as Missouri, Arizona and California.
