Cumbria’s First Earth-Sheltered House



Built in 2002 this underground house fits beautifuly into the hill side. When finished its impact on the landscape is minimal. Utilizing passive solar heat as well as using solar panels on the side this looks to be quite an efficient design. Construction took what looks to be about six months. Below is the photos they posted of the construction. On their website is the complete story of the experience.
