Earth Shed

Earth Shed

There is already too little space left around an average suburban house.

Earth shed is not a separate building, but a part of the landscape.

Standard triangle elements with sides serving as roof trusses and bases - as a floor joists are placed parallel to each other to any desirable length. The earth roof becomes a continuation of a landscape.

Minimum exterior cladding materials.
Excellent natural insulation in warm climates.
Natural draft ventilation.

not much rooms on the sides for storage or use... most likely this shed will be damp as well.. there is not much individual design here either, just a typical a frame on the ground

reminds me of the 60s or 70s

way too throwback, and seems to be the size of a house. the corners are ill used space. too traditional of an idea too...
