at the villa solar in madrid as their entry into the first european solar decathlon. in just three days,
more than 5000 people have visited the house, seeing up-close the solar mechanisms of the
design as well as the inhabitable space both indoors and outdoors. visit inhabitat to view more
images of the completed house.

Wonderful!
Giacomo from TORINO, the first World Design Capital 2008.

Certainly intriguing. As somebody said, it needs an awful lot of material. I'd definitely want an an aerodynamic study to see about high winds abeam and what about earth tremors? In a flood you'd only need a rudder and a sweep.

Maybe no structural study behind for the great amount of wood... I agree itīs a lot of material... just for a keen look.
Look for the Florida house, much better.
