You make a sunken earth burm house by making the walls out of tires that have been filled with compacted soil. then basically stucco the outside for aesthetics, it's easy and cheap to build, and there are tons of examples of people building these eco friendly houses in the dessert. They are perfect for that environment because you build it slightly sunken into the ground and the walls are so thick, it basically stays the same temp inside all the time so it's nice and cool during the day and stays warmer at night.
