Why You Need An Architect: Self Build Homes Underground and Extending Into a Cellar

Self develop houses are becoming an increasingly trendy choice for a lot of men and women but large plots of land are becoming scarce and they can be high-priced. So how do you manage to get the size of home you want at a cost you can afford? Could the answer to this be to opt for a smaller plot and dig down?

Underground Homes

Shopping for a plot of land that is on a slope may well not appear like such a terrific thought but if your self build residence can be ‘submerged' into the slope then you could reap some rewards.

Earth integrated houses are not especially frequent in the UK but in other countries there are many fine examples of how a self develop home can nearly disappear into the countryside. This perhaps a way to provide country living with no the environmental harm.

These properties, while costly to construct, have the benefit of low exterior maintenance, lower heating bills due to the insulating nature of the soil, high resistance to fire and a longer life expectancy due to heavy masonry construction.
