HOW TO BUILD AN UNDERGROUND HOUSE

Malcolm Wells' fourth book about underground architecture will show you that building a house underground is not only possible but also a very good idea for those who want a friendly-with-the-earth life.

This book covers everything you need to know about underground building, from concept basics to house plans you can use for your own underground home.

How to Build an Underground House is scanned from his handwritten and illustrated pages and self-published.
