absolutely beautiful house… less is more… it’s like a natural part of the Nature, like the sea or the trees…
We also use soil on the roof and walls for insulation for hundreds of years, here in Turkey. They are still common in villages.
the house very wonderful.
near to nature,and to save energy.

very interesting and beautiful!! susteinability is for the future, we may consider this example for many parts in the world.
I wouldn’t want to ‘roly-poly’ too exuberantly on the roof, but this design gets an award from me. Splendidly ‘earthed’.
Good ideal,by using soil to prevent salt damage,and green roof to cool down the interior,perfect….
