Would you live in an Earth House?

Published in Architecture, eco Tags: earth, environment

Jun

Earth House is a project from a swiss architect whos aim is not to live under or in the ground, but with it!

The Earth House is a very flexible construction which can be built according to the wishes of its owners, being environmentally friendly construction, energy saving and it’s using the surroundings as an advantage. The house is shaped in order to preserve the natural environment.

Although they are build from earth the houses features the latest interior finishing like modern kitchens, bathrooms and house-control systems.

I really like this idea because it is eco friendly and doesn’t harm the environment when it is built. We should think more of using old techniques of contruction because sometimes they are the best.

And YES, I would live in a house like this .

I would love to be able to live in such a house. The heating and cooling bills would be much lower since the earth keeps a somewhat stable temperature

Mike Says, in 6-28-2008 at 20:43:48 from 203.87.176.3

Yes!! I will there too!

Gordon Says, in 6-28-2008 at 21:12:57 from 24.233.104.58

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all live like that.

Its a very unique and enviornment friendly concept. We all must contribute something to save our enviornment

Who wouldn’t want to live in a house like that? They’re beautiful, and anyone who’s too close minded to see that is kind of crazy in my opinion.

Muddy Says, in 6-28-2008 at 23:52:16 from 87.91.71.223

I’d LOVE to live in such a house!

I’m a builder and designer also , and these are absolutely killer. Shows what a person can do when they let their mind run free

Very neat idea. This design would probably have a HUGE advantage in energy savings. I would imagine that this type of house we be cooler AND would also retain heat far more efficiently than our current style of houses.

I’m so happy this project exists! I want to try it out!

Talamasca Says, in 6-30-2008 at 13:11:56 from 75.111.225.116

Hobbitses are pleased!

jeremy Says, in 6-30-2008 at 18:41:21 from 76.180.76.149

I would certainly live in a house like that. You’d save a fortune in heating / cooling bills, though I’d probably only be able to afford the, “here’s a shovel, dig your own hole” version.

Great idea, probably as expensive as building a home of gold bricks.

These houses are very cool. The only drawback I’ve heard is that you may have a problem with gases such as radon with this underground dwellings. Very efficient, though!

Its all well and good to have the right ideals for “Green Living”…… but unless I am mistaken these are constructed mainly of CONCRETE???? Which is by far one of the most TOXIC building materials in the world!!!! Hmmmm, think about it guys! Dont get me wrong, I love the concept, and there are environmental advantages to living underground… but this is overshadowed by the toxic effects of concrete!
