# Subterranean Home Extensions The Dear Grotto is a Complete Underground Sanctuary By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-grotto References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2010/05/deer-grotto-visiondivision/) & [visiondivision](http://www.visiondivision.com/) I almost feel like people are preparing for an unforeseen apocalypse with all of these [underground facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-house) popping up; looking at Dear Grotto, though, I see that there is simply a huge appeal to [subterranean sanctuaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway). Designed by Visiondivision, Dear Grotto is a [home extension](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-with-a-hidden-atrium) that offers little disturbance to the beautiful surroundings. Consisting of a small kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom, the Dear Grotto is a comfortable hideaway from daily troubles.
