Kevin On Site, Cumbria: The Underground House

Kevin's View

'There is nothing flashy about this place. There are no Italian sofas, there's no sleek kitchen - but there again, like their managed ventilation of this place, it's a breath of fresh air.'

'What I love about this place is that it isn't about showing off; it's all about a philosophy and trying to change the way you live.'

'Because so much of this design is about what's out there. About nature; the elements and the environment - and the love of it, the enjoyment of it, and a healthy respect for it.'

Cumbria Video

The finished house might not be entirely to Kevin's taste but Helen, Phil and their team have accomplished something remarkable - an underground house with swathes of natural sunlight and a truly striking facade.
