Given the packed earth on almost all sides and the limited exposure up front, I wonder how these houses manage to replenish the oxygen for breathing.

Sure, but in far fewer numbers than average houses, and one assumes the windows are as close to airtight as possible to pretend heat escape, etc. So do they have to leave their few windows open all the time?

Honestly I don’t see how it’s different than any other house, with stone and plaster walls.. how would the air get in? People have built hobbit houses, and do live in them just fine. In fact, historically houses were often built underground.pic.twitter.com/CamfsXYEWR

Right, but historical houses had a hard time being so sealed. I’m wondering how modern tech might create an issue for, say, a family of five living in a sealed hobbit home. Would they schedule time to keep windows open as part of maintenance, like changing a filter?

Hobbit houses aren’t built with modern technology o.O

No, I’m talking the ones being built since the LotR movie made them popular. I’ve seen a few posted online and always wondered about oxygen replenishment. Just a curiosity I’ve had.

Yes I know, and I am saying that even today, you can choose a more traditional style of building your home. But in all honesty.. I’m not an architect.. I don’t even know how air gets in modern homes, let alone ancient ones. I can’t answer your question.

Now I’m even more curious. I’ve been considering building a playhouse for my kids into the side of a hill like a hobbit hole, but I’d need to make sure about oxygen filtering for safety. I’ll have to research this.

Mostly exposed to the open air and with more of a longhouse roof. Hmm.
