Description:

The buried house or the cave refer to the original house of the human being, it returns us to nature to coexist with it.

Its particularity.

It is completely thermal, pleasant, green roofs that when combined with their neighbors create a lush park full of vegetables, orchards and flora trees, ornaments and fruit trees, while the ecological energy systems do their part towards the environment, the furniture of wood and natural fibers make it more environmentally friendly.

Compacted earth walls. This resistant, sustainable and easily accessible material also guarantees the thermal insulation of the house.

Internal patios

The creation of internal courtyards provides us with natural ventilation and lighting to all living spaces in the house. With the patios we also create privacy.

It is customary to arrive at a place and destroy nature to build civility, while the buried house creates a symbiosis between the latter and its environment, adapting to the terrain and the environment, leaving a minimal and minimal footprint. temporary, because when it is abandoned forever by its inhabitants, nature will erode and fill in the land on which it was located.
