Earth-Sheltered


Icelandic houses with turf roofs
I really love uniform houses / villages / cities, they just look so scenic and idiosyncratic when gazed from afar
Because Iceland has such harsh weather and is extremely remote, foreign timber could not be introduced easily, so the abundance of turf was utilised instead to help insulate houses
What a fantastic way to live in harmony with your surroundings
I would like to slumber in one
