HIDDEN LAIR TUCKED BENEATH MOUNDS OF GRASS
Peeking out from underneath bumpy layers of greenery, this amazing abode looks more like something out of a fairy tale than real life. But don’t take this Swiss estate lightly. Designed by Vetsch Architektur, the structure was built using earth house construction, resulting in an insulating blanket that protects it from rain, low temperatures, wind and natural abrasion.
GORGEOUS MODERN HOME BUILT INSIDE A CAVE
When you think about “modern living,” “cave-dwelling” isn’t usually the first phrase that springs to mind. But this eye-popping home nestled inside of a 15,000-square foot sandstone cave in Festus, Missouri is the best of both worlds. Built by Curt and Deborah Sleeper, the underground abode features smart examples of energy-efficient architecture like geothermal heating and passive design that keep the interior comfortable while completely eliminating the need for a furnace or air conditioning.

Uderground houses are really lovely, but expensive. I would love to have a full master plan/ architectural drawing for an underground house which can be built on a plot of land.
I wounldn’t mind living in a pyrimid, and I agree they look sorta like the hobbits home. I have alsways thought it would be cool to live in a home that’s under ground with only enough showing at the top for entering through.
a society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know – they shall never sit in…lets plant more trees.
Hi – very great website you have made. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to reply a comment to inform you that the design of this website is very aesthetically delightful.

I have always enjoyed working with computers and am trying to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).
