EarthHouse Architecture by Peter Vetsch. There are nine separate homes in this complex with a manmade pond located in Dietikon, Switzerland.  The homes range from 645 square feet up to 2152 square feet. The homes are constructed of sprayed concrete with a water protection added directly on top of that and then filled with a protective layer of natural earth.

That is very cool. If it was in another country I would be looking for leprechauns.

David, there are a number, (three) homes that have been built into the ground in neighbouring areas.  But I have never seen a development of them...

David that is certainly a different kind of community than we are use to.  Would love an open house tour, I love unique properties.  Pity these homes are so far away.

Have a great weekend.

These homes are built with multiple skylight systems that provide daylight. With the right type of landscaping these home could be anywhere.

Those houses remind me of Lord of the Rings and the hobitt's Shire.
