What is an iceberg home? Unassuming at first glance, iceberg homes are designed and built with the majority of living space underground. Father and son duo, John and Jeff Gunson, share their experiences and process of building homes with multiple underground floors.

害羞草研究所楾he concept was created in London. The houses are too small for the value of what these people have paid for them, and you can害羞草研究所檛 change the facade of a building and you can害羞草研究所檛 raise the height. So, because of heritage restrictions they dug down into the ground and increased the size of the square footage of the house. In the City of Vancouver there is no reference in the bylaws to how many square feet you can add below grade.害羞草研究所 John Gunson, Euro Canadian Contracting
