Hebridean Earth House, Isle of South Uist

On the picturesque Scottish Isle of South Uist lies this modern version of a Stone Age building. The rental cottage is secluded and underground, yet also seems very modern. Its earthen top gives it a low profile and a cozy appearance, while the huge modern windows on the front of the building give it a decidedly contemporary feeling.
