Another view of the straw-bale pit greenhouse.

Cher's straw-bale studio; herbs and body work. Nice place.

Their underground house blends right in. There's some other quasi-underground and actual-underground stuff in the Underground Shelters section.

The fireplace in the underground house. This is much cooler than it looks: the back of the fireplace is one wall of a stone sauna/shower, and the steel fireplace insert sticks into a recessed area of the sauna/shower, radiating heat into the other stone walls of the sauna/shower... which are, of course, a bearing system the middle of the house. It makes sense even if I didn't explain it well.

And they're offgrid, natch.
 
There's another section of photos provided by Bruce and Cheryl of their place, with emphasis on the construction of Cher's studio. Go see!
