Imagine putting together your own house much like you put together a Lego train station when you were little? Crazy as it sounds, it’s real and eco-friendly!

The HIB-System is modular blocks made from naturally cut Black Forest trees and insulated with shells, gravel and wood chips.

What? It’s a German product and it’s gaining a lot of interesting media attention.

I’m not really sure how it works, but it’s supposedly earthquake proof and you can get a pre-designed home. So I need to know: Is this WOW! or What the Heck?
