Earth bermed buildings, often called earth shelters or earth sheltered buildings are a design approach that connects a building mor esignificantly to the ground and landscape around it than sitting up on it. This typology is normally built slightly below ground or at ground level with an earth burm around that covers most of the external walls and potentially also the roof, creating a sunken or earth sheltered appearance.

Depending on the detail design approach, the building will, to differing degrees benefit from an earth coupling effect, where by the thermal mass, insulative and protective qualities of the surrounding earth benefit the performance of the building.
