In-Hill Construction: The House Is Set Into A Slope or Hillside. The Most Practical

The house is built into a slope or hillside, with only one exposed wall facing out of the hill, while all other walls are embedded in the earth. The most practical application of in-hill construction is to face the house towards the equator for warmth, meaning facing south in the Northern Hemisphere and north in the Southern Hemisphere.
