It seems too strange to be real - a home emerging from a set of giant stones, seemingly cut out of the rock itself. Yet there it stands in rural Portgual with the pictures and video to prove it. No, it is not an optical illusion nor a fancy photo-editing

We have a saying in the UK about certain kind of people living under stones and they only emerge when the stones get warmed by the sun which put simply means they don't bother to get up in the morning because they are lazy! Don't think that would apply to the occupants of this rock pad! The design is quirky but somehow pleasing despite the afterthought style of the roof which might have looked better as a trail of little boulders! I cannot possible imagine my local planning department giving the go ahead for such a naturally informing design. I wonder if the Flintstone theme extends to the furniture and vehicles! All in all a great idea!
