Underground Home Plan, Limehurst, Britain

Destined to be Britain’s first underground mansion, this concept picture shows what the entrance to a proposed £2 million project will look like once completed. Located in an area well-loved by highly-paid footballers, the home design is an answer to the numerous complaints from locals about the huge, garish McMansions being built in the area. When it’s completed, the home will require up to 75 percent less fossil fuels than a conventional house.
