A Vision For An Environmetally Friendly House In The Desert
Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in collaboration with the environmental-design firm Atelier Ten, have imagined a luxurious and sustainable house for the style and eco-conscious set.
Describing a typical day in a not-so-typical house, the architects begin with the alarm clock ringing:
"M. hits the snooze button. In the bedroom, the OpaciView facade is triggered by the alarm; it goes from opaque to 80 percent clear in three minutes. M. beigns to stir. The Rent-Your-Roof system starts to harvest the energy the house needs for the day."
