''Like an inhabitable billboard, the Single Hauz – by Poland's front architects – proposes cantilevering domestic living space from a central mast. The house can then be installed above a variety of ground conditions, from the middle of a meadow to an urban core.''

Underground homes, and the process of underground house construction, have been a normal part of human habitation for centuries.

From early cave dwellers, whose cave houses stretched deep into and below mountains, through to 21st Century pioneers whose mission it is to show how comfortable this style of house can be, underground habitation structures are part of the fabric of our methods of dwelling and construction. Using what is below the soil, as well as what is above, is a natural instinct to many designers, as well as for those who wish to be hidden and literally, underground.
Underground or Overground?
Whole Cities have been built underground. Perhaps the most famous of these is in Turkey, on the Anatolian plains. Cappadocia is the most well known – it descends some 18 storeys below ground, and once housed 22,000 people. It was a highly organised and well-designed place, with water, sewage, and ventilation shafts, and the defensive capacity to withstand attack from marauders. This region actually has around 40 subterranean settlements, and is worth visiting for this underground experience.

Caves need little in the way of further deepening or widening to make them at least partially habitable. Doing too much construction on or inside the rock can make a cave vulnerable. However, they make ideal shelters, and can be exquisitely furnished. Cave dwellings, whether still used or shown as museum exhibits, exist in most Countries of the world, including the UK. It was fashionable in the Victorian era for large estate owners to have or create a cave on their property, and employ a hermit or solitary recluse to live there. In the Middle East - Israel, a unique tribe still live in rock caves in the Judean Desert near the South Hebron Hills. It is possible to visit them and understand how significant to them this style of living is. Caves maintain cool temperatures in hot sandy deserts, and can resist floods well.
