Earth sheltering is a type of architecture where buildings are designed to blend in with the landscape, which is sometimes also called a "ground house." This helps keep the temperature inside the building constant, and it helps lower the cost of heating and cooling the building. It usually involves making the home out of material like dirt, stones, or wood so that it blends in with the natural environment surrounding it. This way, it helps the environment by reducing energy use, and it also helps make the home look nicer.
