Date: 15 Nov 2004 15:21 (UTC)There's one in England that's built into the top of a hill. The owner couldn't get planning permission to put a normal house there as it would "ruin the view" so he hollowed out the top of the hill and fitted "periscope" windows so he could still see the view as if he were standing on the top. He didn't go to the trouble of making the whole hill hollow though, just enough of it to create a decent size of house. From a distance the modifications to the hill are invisible, although up close you can see the top sections of his windows.
He doesn't have to worry about external painting, pointing, guttering etc, and apparently his heating bill is minute :)
