designed to blend effortlessly with its environment. The roof of this fascination underground home looks like a couple of sloped
grass banks and most people walking by
might never even realize that there is a
large, spacious and stunning modern residence beneath them. Crafted out by excavating the area, the Edgeland House uses
the earth’s mass to maintain a moderate
temperature inside the residence, while the
green roof also helps in natural insulation.

MALATOR IN DRUIDSTONE, WALES
This contemporary home is touted as one of Wales’ architectural
masterpieces. According to their website: “The turf roof, steel chimney and peephole doorway inevitably gave way to its local nickname
as ‘the Teletubby house’.
The basic design of Malator is very simple, with essentially one room
inside, divided by prefabricated coloured pods, while on the outside,
the house melds with the surrounding landscape.”
ECO HOUSE, ENGLAND
Designed by Make Architects for British football star Gary Neville,
this structure manages to combine beauty with functionality in a
new and unique way. The residence covers nearly 8,000 square
feet but not in the way you would expect it to. It’s a one-story
structure that was built underground. One of the main goals when
designing the residence was to create something that would keep
energy consumption to a minimum and that would be an ecofriendly version of a standard home.
