Totally Awesome 'Penguin House'



You know I'm a huge fan of Japanese modernist houses. This one is genius.

Love the house for it's use of space and modernist details. Highly concerned of it's practicality anywhere other than a temperate climate, but some of the concepts would translate well with less glass and a modified stack effect.

Does the national geographic channel always cover houses? What program was this part of?

Hey! Thanks for the great info. I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).

A fine response to a tiny plot. I'm a big fan of modern Japanese architecture, their solutions are always unique and thoroughly beautiful.
