My late father, Malcolm Wallhead, designed an igloo-shaped hut in the 1970's, ideal for setting up in remote places to escape the pressures of city life. Even though it's rarely purchased for that purpose, they're still quite popular for short-term accommodation.

I grew up in Michigan and we would have loved having these as a kid! We built our own igloos from time to time, but this would’ve have been the ultimate winter club house. Closest we had was old ice fishing shacks.

That is very striking. Something straight out of a Tintin book. Thank you for sharing your fathers work.
