Hobbits are a peaceful people and live a simple, pre-industrial life in the land which they call the Shire, or "hobbitin", as in "The Hobbit" in Middle-earth.

A typical hobbit-house has a long hallway with rooms on both sides, and round doors and windows. Originally these were underground in hills, then the house was called a smial, but this architecture(style of building) is also used for 'normal' houses above ground.
