This is probably how ants and molehills would look like if they were as big as humans. With an area of ten thousand square feet, this underground house belongs to all-star football player Gary Neville. Not only is it innovative in terms of architecture, but environmentally friendly as well. They say it could be the first carbon-neutral house in all of Great Britain.
Local materials and traditional construction techniques will reduce transportation and technology waste while geothermal heat, solar roof panels and wind turbines will generate sustainable energy on the site. In short: this house is about as green as it gets on all fronts, inside and out.
Don't be fooled by the simple, almost spartan looking outdoor features. Inside, this house is fitted with all the mod cons one could ever need, possibly even with an ADT-monitor. And no, unlike other subterranean houses, its ingenious design allows lots of natural light in. Dark and damp? Definitely not. Eccentric? You decide.
