This Underground Fridge Could Be The Best Solution For Off-Grid Food Storage...

Nowadays people have become overly dependent on modern appliances and would probably find it hard to imagine that they can refrigerate food and beverages without any electrical power. Floris Schoonderbeek is a designer and entrepreneur originally from the Netherlands.

He developed the Groundfridge which is an underground storage unit under his brand Weltevree. This brand also sells outdoor products such as ovens, hot tubs, and furniture. The whole design was inspired by the standard root cellar, being isolated underground, where the groundwater provides a cooling effect.

The underground storage is insulated with 3.5 foot layer of excavated soil, keeping the constant annual temperature between 10 and 12° C. Basically, it’s the perfect environment to store food and beverages, keeping them fresh and healthy on the wooden shelves. Another advantage is related to its volume, which is equal to twenty conventional fridges. The Groundfridge was nominated for the Dutch Design Award in 2015, a confirmation of its quality and usefulness. Check it out below…

Quite good but terribly overpriced. Really taking the Michael. They are something silly like 12000 dollars!?!

    You could tweak the Earthship designs to come up with something as good. As soon as you buy a solution from someone you have value added costs. If you opt for DIY then you can achieve a whole different level of pricing

    Pity though as its only moulded plastic. They are having a right old laugh at 12000. Maybe 1000 but 12000- it’s just a shell like a bath for goodness sake. Wonder how long their patent is, someone else needs to start maki g these at a sensible price.

I remember seeing underground coolers inside the house on the old houses in Andalusia. Not a new concept, we just seem to have forgotten how to live without electricity

High-tech root cellar, probably has a high price tag too …. here, if you have an old freezer that you were going to haul off, turn it into a root cellar … http://lifehacker.com/5936047/turn-a-dead-chest-freezer-into-a-miniature-root-cellar
