A city near where I lived had an underground house that looked like this. It was the "house of the future" because of reasons I don't remember. I passed by it a few years ago, and it looked empty, overgrown and run down.

I have a distinct memory of driving past a house like that repeatedly as a kid, but that was decades ago now. Tried searching for it now and cannot find it. I suspect it suffered a similar fate. Can't find any photos or references to it online though, so maybe I imagined it...

Apparently has plenty of light inside. I wonder if the cold would eventually seep in. Or what the plants and water are going to do to the structure.

A meter of soil is a pretty good insulator. There is plenty of more newer houses built like this by enthusiasts, that practically go without extra heating or ac, because the sun warms it up enough in winter and the soil keeps it cool enough in summer.
