یکی از مرسوم‌ترین روش‌های مقابله با نیروهای اقلیمی دردسرساز در معماری بشر از گذشته های خیلی دور تو دل زمین خونه ساختن بوده! این روش اون قدر طبیعی بوده که مثلا همین تهران خودمون تا همین سی‌صدسال پیش روستایی بوده با مردمانی که خونه‌های خودشون رو تو دل زمین می ساختن.
همین امروز هم با وجود پیشرفت حیرت‌آور تکنولوژی، خونه ساختن تو دل زمین هنوز راه‌کاری مناسب برای زندگی مطلوب‌تر و مطبوع‌تر شناخته می شه و هر روز اتودهایی می بینی که به گونه‌ای از این نگاه استفاده می کنن.
Natural forces shaped the foundation of what would later become a dynamic underground duplex, in the form of a 1960s hurricane that piled up a dune on a piece of (nearly) beach-front property owned, naturally, by a rather creative architect.
When William Morgan went to create a pair of rental properties/guest rooms a decade later, he chose to burrow down rather than build up something new.
Part organic, part retro-futuristic, and part mid-century modern (inside, that is), the residences defy simple description from their shapes and material palettes down to furnishings and decor. Nor are the images either old or new – some vintage shots also still exist of the building interior and context back when it was constructed:
A front-facing living room along each side looks out on the water, while a lofted bedroom and bathroom are tucked up behind for greater privacy. The green roof and walls on all sides provide natural warming and cooling buffers as well.
At over a million a piece, they are not for sale cheap, but it can hard to put a price on unique vintage works like these anyway. The downside: surrounding houses tower a tad over these little humps in the ground – but then again, at least there is no way to look down in
