Here is a bit more detail on the composition of these homes.  It is very inventive and clever if nothing else.  And it also seems to be very “green” if you’re into that:

Besides looking neat and being cozy, earth-covered homes like these also offer a practical advantage – the soil covering provides excellent insulation, helping to keep the structure warm in winter and cool in the summer. The window and door arches protrude from the sides, so they won’t be covered when the soil is heaped on top.

Each Green Magic Home is made up of individual fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) arches, which are bolted together sort of like sections of a waterslide. These joined segments become different types of watertight rooms/modules, which can in turn be linked together to form various styles of homes – buyers can also mix and match modules as they wish.

What do you think?  Will these catch on or not?  Feel free to comment about your thoughts on this very different way of living.
