In reaction of a rejection from the landscape committee he invents the concept of buried house. This concept twist the land architecture for adapting it to the period of time.

Guy Rottier will express at the end an original conception of the ecology. He proclaim to make buildings influenced by a period of time and not to an area style because he thinks that any predetermined style exist anymore. But he respects the beauty of the landscape by hiding sometimes his buildings. Guy Rottier regret the non using sun energy possibilities. In 1972 he proposes the "Ecopolis" project where each houses and each buildings are made for the everybody heating and lightening needs.
