Earth house airbnb
Albuquerque, NM
"An earth house is a structure with earth against the walls, on the roof, or that is entirely buried underground. Earth acts as thermal mass, making it easier to maintain a steady indoor air temperature and therefore reduces energy costs for heating or cooling". This is a beautiful, unique, eco-friendly Airbnb. I am a huge advocate for the environment, this was such an awesome experience to see how they transformed the house to be sustainable.
