This house is built above grade with earth covering three walls. The exposed front of the house faces south and allows the sun to light and heat the interior. The open floor plan is arranged so common areas share light and heat from the southern exposure. Strategically placed skylights and sky tunnels ensure daylight in the northern portions of the house. This type of house is less susceptible to the impact of extreme outdoor air temperatures than a conventional house. If you are looking for a home with energy efficient features that will provide a comfortable, tranquil, weather resistant dwelling, an earth sheltered house could be right for you. There is a barn and storage shed on this 1.3 acre lot.
