Dutch designer Floris Schoonderbeek, has created the Ground Fridge, an underground cool storage solution, for Dutch brand Weltevree.
Modern houses are often built without a basement while a lot of people nowadays feel the need for one: they’re focused on healthy food and, for example, grow their own food or buy in bulk at the local organic farmer.
The Ground Fridge is a basement as a product. An innovative version of the traditional root cellar, for the new cosmopolitan with its own vegetable garden and a modern self-sufficient existence.
The Ground Fridge makes use of the insulating effect of the ground and the cooling effect of the groundwater.
The temperature in the fridge remains stable throughout the year between 10 and 12° C: the ideal temperature for the storage of, for example, fruit, vegetables, wine and cheese.
The spherical Ground Fridge is buried and covered with the excavated earth. This layer of soil is about one meter thick and insulating so the temperature inside the fridge barely varies. There’s no permit required to place the Ground Fridge, and no soil to be disposed.
The Ground Fridge is equipped with wooden shelves for storage.

i leave saturday for a conference in indianapolis next week. going to add a small road trip onto the start, hoping that i’m not too late for fall colors in ann arbor.
returned the car we rented for phil for two weeks. we share a car (and have for 6 years), but his overtime schedule was getting insane, so we rented for two weeks and he’ll have our car while i’m outta town for a week. we’re at the point where - sadly - we need a 2nd car. i love carpooling with him. *sigh* though truth be told, being able to come and go without coordinating was pretty awesome.
today some of the business office ladies were poking fun at a colleague because she doesn’t like to pet animals. she was trying to explain that she doesn’t “hate” animals, she just isn’t into them. the others were saying how weird that was, but i said “i’m like that but with babies. everyone’s always trying to hand me a baby. it’s not that i hate babies, but you know, you’re holding it already, that’s great, keep holding it.” for some reason this made the others say that the anti-petting lady’s preference actually made sense. i’ll just leave that there.
I recently registered a new domain and forgot to make it private so I've been getting a lot of random telemarketer phone calls. This will be nice so I don't have to block them one at a time AFTER they already call me.
