Earth House by Peter Vetsch
The earth structure houses provide organic forms, their development requiring creativity and a strong sense of space and was designed by Peter Vetsch, are based on the interpretation of an environmentally conscious, ecological and progressive architecture. The earth- covered houses are grouped centered around a small artificial lake with the entrance well hidden and integrated at the side of the settlement.
Located in Dietikon, Switzerland the Earth House Estate Lättenstrasse is build on the ground.The residential settlement consists of nine houses, three 3 bedroom, a 4 bedroom, a 5 bedroom, three 6 bedroom and a 7 bedroom house.The earth-house concept uses the ground as an insulating blanket that efficiently protects it from rain, low temperatures, wind and natural abrasion. An earth house does not have to be built under the ground, it can be placed onto naturally grown terrain. For more information of this project please check this.

[...] The aesthetic appeal inside some underground homes simply cannot be denied. More and more of them are designed to feel positively light and airy.

Jasinski Architects International adheres to a “humanist design philosophy.” For lovers of nature for whom the central principle of aesthetics is to interrupt their natural surroundings as little as possible, the underground or earth-sheltered home is also a design solution. See another example here. [...]

Does anyone know of any Underground homes that are not inspired or based on ‘California hippie plastiform’ or ‘Euro-brutal concrete monolith’ design? The idea of building an underground home appeals to me but I find the ‘I am an ARCHITECT!’ designs repugnant. Simple, vernacular, livable architecture anyone?
