7 Eco Houses: Which Would You Choose?

7 Eco Houses: Which Would You Choose?

by Mike Sowden on June 27, 2008 in Shelter

Since early last century, modern architecture has struggled for a distinctive middle ground, somewhere between the staunch angular rationalism of Le Corbusier and the nature-directed style made famous by Frank Lloyd Wright. The latest arena is the eco-house. So what architectural style would you feel comfortable living in?

The 12Wide miniHome?

Simon Dale’s homemade house-in-a-hill?

The prefab delights of the DWR Kithaus?

Earthship Brighton? (What’s an Earthship? It’s one of these).

Michael Jantzen‘s work (this is his "Wind Shaped Pavilion")?

Illy’s Quick House? (Let’s presume they’d throw in four walls and a proper roof as well).

The Orchid House?
