It needs burglar bars and a garage.

This house just might fly away when the first high winds come along. Most likely it will just tip over, or the solar "wings" will rip off. Virtually every place in North American is subject to high winds at some time or another. I don't think the architect thought this through.

Something should have been done for rain-water harvesting to keep use of river water minimum :)

That would make this house *almost* independent.

Very cool. Seems like a vertical execution of the MKD architects Lotus Home which is also selling many of the same benefits.

Great concept. not so much with design. I love the idea of a smaller - zero - footprint but that is just plain ugly and in many ways unsuited to certain climes. Keep up the good work though, we need these homes.

They did, there's a "2700-gallon roof cistern for water".

Turn the solar panels 90 degrees and attach them to the top of the roof to avoid wind damage and add a garage with an electric car charger.

What about incorporating geothermal power as well?
