[theqoo] IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE LATEST TREND IN HOUSE CONSTRUCTION IS THE "HOBBIT HOUSE"

This is known as earth-sheltered architecture, essentially the very first form of building humans ever used.

It involves either living inside an excavated space or cave, or constructing a building directly over such an area.

Compared to conventional buildings, the heating and cooling efficiency is outstanding; even with floor-to-ceiling windows, the interior doesn't get too hot or cold. And because there is less exposed surface area, maintenance is easier.

On the downside, the structure is essentially forced to face south or east, and managing the surrounding soil can be tricky, but overall, it is considered a great way to live.

1. If not for how humid our weather is, I'd love to try living in one

2. This is so romantic ㅎㅎ

3. I think I’d like it if the country had a dry climate; I’d love to live there. Besides, it’s obvious that this kind of structure wouldn't work in Korea, so there’s no need to be negative about it

4. Wow I'm envious that you can live like that overseas. Korean apartments are so stuffy

5. It reminds me of that hill in Teletubbies ㅋㅋㅋ

6. It kinda looks cute

7. Wow this reminds me of Minecraft's buildings ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. What about the bugs?

9. I feel like this can be healthy for you. And the house is cute too

10. Isn't it gonna become very humid?
