Wells’s work is revolutionary, but readers will find his message to be pure common sense. Earth sheltering offers superior comfort with minimal energy input, and it is adaptable to diverse terrains as well as a variety of architectural aesthetics.

An architect by trade, Wells lives in The Underground Art Gallery, in Brewster, Massachusetts, and has written several books about this subject, which he has promoted since 1964. He is a pioneer of underground building and natural design. His best-selling books include Gentle Architecture,How to Build and Underground House. The Earth Sheltered House is scanned from his own hand-written and illustrated pages.
