At first glance, this home in Clinton, Maryland, USA, appears to be a typical two-story colonial-style house with a red brick exterior and elegant white columns supporting a balcony.
To reduce heating costs, an American chose to build his home underground.
However, if you take a few steps back, the true nature of the house becomes clear: this eco-friendly residence is buried beneath a thick layer of earth.
Thanks to the natural insulation, the owners enjoy significant energy savings, paying an average of only $150 per month for utilities.
Built-in 2006, the house spans 300 square meters. Despite its unconventional appearance, it offers all the modern amenities, including three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car garage, a fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen with a separate dining area.
