Is there any real benefit for it being in the ground like this ? Or is it purely aesthetic ?
This type of house is known as “backstuga” in Sweden, which is literally "hill cottage". The earthen cabin is partially buried in the ground with its sod roof almost flush with the ground level. (photo: Johan Emanuel Thorin, Castor)pic.twitter.com/xK9yWWxKEd

Looks cool, but when it rains it won’t be as fun living there.
Unless they got a drain in the back or something. -
I'd be worrying about the Swedish snow

Needs a trapdoor on the roof. Make sure it's heavily slanted so snow doesn't pile onto it.

Got one! Also much-needed light. If the roof beams are strong enough (and they must be) a meter of snow would be useful insulation. Source: see @SteelMemes_DankBeams ,below.pic.twitter.com/V1hyOQnCQB

Funny that the guy who made the photo of Beorn's home is named Thorin.

These were common sorts of house on the Upper Great Plains. Usually built with the back slope into the facing winds.
