OYO architects have designed a home in Belgium, that is built so that part of the home is below ground level.

The home’s shape is very unique, with its green roof that angles upwards from the road.

A rubber roofing membrane wraps the entire home, protecting the interior from changing weather conditions, and working as one facade element.

The green roof and solar panels add to the energy efficiency of the home.

Wood and warm materials have been used to create a Scandinavian-like interior ambiance.

The fireplace can be used indoors and outdoors. In summer it is used as a BBQ and people dine under the covered terrace, and in winter it can be used to warm the home.
