This has me thinking of doing a split level dugout, with built in furniture like a bench with table in front or other workspace. Not sure about drainage yet, but half green roof and half ferrocement roof with gutter leading to cistern comes to mind. Just so many ideas, and I don't know of any real world examples to follow here beyond earthships (not packing tires), and underground (square) houses with shed roofs. Anyone have pictures of small square footage hexaships or underground hexas or similar that work? The underground fallout shelter by Mike Oehler has a buried "ship's prow" facing uphill to divert water, basically a square with a triangle on top. Think I'll just keep designs small for now and build one of each for now so I can see what works, what doesn't, and if it doesn't it would be that big a deal to solve.
