Brent built this super cool tiny house hobbit studio using a mix of cob, stick frame, and ICF (insulated concrete forms). It's 300 square feet, built in a pentagon shape, with a green roof, a masonry wood stove, homemade wine barrel furniture, and a separate shed with a shower and composting toilet.

He built The Wobbly Hobbit Studio in British Columbia, Canada, over the course of 6 years with help from friends, as well as from an engineer (Tim Krahn) and alternative builder (Pat Amos) that he retained to help with the build. In total, the tiny house cost $50,000 Canadian to build (approx. $35,000 USD) including the appliances.

Inside, there's a kitchen with wine barrel cabinetry, a fridge and toaster oven, a sink and water heater. There's a masonry stove that heats the thermal mass of a cob bench in the kitchen. He has a cozy living room with lots of seating (but still space to do VR), and a bed with a wine-barrel headboard and transforming standing desk workspace.

Brent was careful not to take down any big trees during the build and instead he chose to build the studio around a big beautiful cedar tree. He also kept the plants that were on the ground before the build, and transplanted them onto the green roof once the studio was complete. He also incorporated scotch broom (an invasive species where he is) into the build to remove some of it from the surrounding landscape. The studio also collects rainwater, which is in abundance in the rainforest :)
