For many years I've said the best house is an underground house. On a South facing hillside so the front entry door with glass around it. "Light tunnels" for underground rooms. Underground it's about 56°F, you could easily raise it to 72°...it wouldn't take much. Summer, free AC.As for those McMansions that are chilly, I'll bet they all have 2.5 story high open vault ceilings and plenty of glass in the entry lobby or living room. WTH did they expect?
Never any shingles or insulation. No painting, gutters, siding.
The 'downside' is it wouldn't impress anyone, no curb appeal.
