The Beach Valley glass roof house presents a balance between nature and architecture. This underground home design, created by Japan’s Sambuichi Architects, plays up natural aesthetics, modern minimalist interiors and sustainable technologies that usher this simple hill house straight into the future. “A close examination on how changing wind directions and intensities in daylight influences the site, enables me to understand what kind of architecture is really needed on each location,” according to Sambuichi. Set adjacent to a vast river plane and mountains, this eco friendly architecture makes an understated impression, with its contemporary glazed roof visible among the grassy surface. Beneath it, carved into the earth, four bedrooms and ironically, an underground sunroom, are an unexpected discovery. The earth becomes a means for passive climate control in the house, maintaining a comfortable temperature year-round, off the grid. Like the cooling and heating system, lighting is passive, thanks to the glass roof. Natural stone and richly finished woods complement the home’s natural surroundings.

Stockholm based architecture firm RB Arkitektur designed this modern Swedish villa, a bunker style house, in its home town. Set on a gently sloping hillside, Villa UH1 is modeled on a WWII-era German bunker, and designed with all the contemporary comforts of home, and the added benefits of an eco house design. This contemporary residence is partially built underground, blending with its grassy surroundings and topped by an eco-friendly, moss-covered roof. Additional built-in sustainable systems include geothermal technology as an alternative energy source. That said, this modern Swedish villa has great aesthetic appeal, from its simple, sleek architectural accents inside, to its minimalist white palette and modern yet earthy finishes. The great shape of this house dictates its unusually shaped and placed windows, which flood interiors with lots of natural light – one more eco-friendly feature. Complemented with chic, sleek furnishings, this house is a Swedish dream home indeed.
As curious as it is cool, the underground design for OUTrial House by Polish architecture firm KWK Promes reveals a secret in this quiet country field in Ksiazenice, Poland. Carved into the earth and concealed beneath a lush layer of grass, this innovative hideaway house peeks through only with a sliver of windows. An underground atrium was created by slicing into the design, opening it up to the sky while remaining “underground.” But perhaps most interesting feature about this unique design is that the landscaped roof is only accessible from inside the house, by ascending the grass-covered stairs. Beneath the camouflaged facade, the house boasts all the traditional goods: living rooms, functional spaces, and even a sound studio.
