    Based on the wood storage, they have mean winters… I wonder how it will do in a snow drift.

    very similar to what me and my wife will start building in a year, if plans go throuh. slightly different interiors and minor differences in the “window hole”

    this is an extremely design for cold climates

    Is anyone else having trouble with the perspective in the lead photo? I keep wanting it to flip inside-out to resolve itself.

    I knew a family that had a house in a hill in Arkansas. It was nice. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer. Only problem was the lack of windows and light.

    There’s no better insulation than fifty feet of dirt

    Love it! Love it! Love it!

    At first I thought the steps leading up to the entrance where the lines on a highway and my mind was trying to wrap itself around someone blowing a house out of the ground in the middle of the street…looking closer its marginally less interesting but still absolutely gorgeous. I’d live there.

    “I wonder how it will do in a snow drift.”

    I think with all the money they will save on heating, they can hire some kid to shovel out the snow.

    Is it just me, or does this house look like Bubs from homestarunner.com?
