If space is an issue for you yet you still want to build yourself a house that doesn't feel like a pod and one that boasts unobstructed green space, make sure to check out this awesome and clever home design that gives residents the extra space they need below street level. Designed by Prague-based studio EDIT!, this clever home design follows the architecture firm's unique style of sinking houses below street level in way that only a part of the structure is visible to passerby's. However, what makes this home unique compared to their other work is the fact that it was designed on a plot of land that was full of greenhouses to make sure the landscape was lush.
"The owners are a couple in their 30s who do a lot of gardening, so they wanted a small house of about 100 square meters, with maximum contact with the outdoors," says architect Juraj Calaj from EDIT!
