Outside the box

We're so very used to having hard floors everywhere in our houses, insulated properly. It is possible to do it differently though. This house is in Japan, and part of the house has dirt floors where various plants thrive. If you're building a glazed extension of the house, consider something like this. Not only does it give a lush, more earthy feeling, but it gives a better in door climate in that part of the house.
