For those who are taking the caveman lifestyle pretty seriously (read Paleo diet), then The Truffle by Ensamble Studio, an architectural firm based in Madrid, Spain, is just for them. It is a literal cave that will help people stay in the caveman mindset day in and day out. Yet instead sleeping on the cold hard ground surrounded by nothing more than bare rocks, the space has been outfitted with the comforts of modern day living.
From beds and basins to fireplaces and toilets, The Truffle by Ensamble Studio is a one-of-a-kind space that will strike people's fancy right from the get-go. When pulling up to the house, a person will be greeted with the sight of a big boulder that has been carved out to accommodate an equally large window.
