Couldn't find this anywhere on the boards so I just wanted to post it up for anyone that's considering full earth-sheltered. Very thorough build diary:

Great use of steel frame for the structure.

Here is a build that I would love to visit.  Haven't found any real information on it though.  (you think the aerial shots are from a drone?)

Definitely drone footage. That place is awesome! Sent him a message on YouTube seeing if he had any additional information. Looks like it's cut in which may be rather labor intensive for most but the same could be accomplished above ground with berming.
