Remember the hobbit houses? This is the deluxe version. Situated in the Swiss village of Vals, deep in the mountains, the house is very hard to see, making it a perfect place for hiding .

The amazing architecture plan comes from SeARCH and Christian Muller Architects. The houseincludes all the facilities such as a guest room, an entertainment area, but also an underground pathway.

Recently I wrote an article asking my readers if they would live in an Earth House, and the success was huge, all of them liked the idea. So today I will show you more brilliant ideas of houses made from earth from around the world.

Earthships are ecological houses build mostly from old tires or other recycled waste, built on the earth for the purpose of living “off the grid.”

They are using solar and geothermal energy which allows the home to be heated without gas. What is amazing is that many people who live in earthships say they pay anywhere from $0 to $100 per year for utilities. It even recycles rain water.

When is winter outside, the sun’s low rays hits the tire wall and the heat slowly permeates throughout the house.

Electricity needs can be generated from the installed solar panels.

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 .
