Off Grid Cliff House
Thursday, April 8th, 2010 |
Off-Grid houses don’t have to be ugly, and as Case in Point #1 I’d like to point you to this stunning home in Ontario. It has a living green roof, it utilizes the thermal mass of a large boulder for heating, solar power throughout, plus a cool solar thermal system to heat the floors and thermal storage tanks.
Really that’s just the tip of the iceberg – it has tons of great sustainable features to make you drool, and a view to bring tears to your eyes.
Barerock Lakefront Cabin
Thursday, March 11th, 2010 |
What makes Barerock wonderful is the way it blends with the forest, and that was exactly the plan. Built 70 feet above Drag Lake in Ontario, the cabin is constructed on 14 concrete piers, and it almost looks like the cabin floats above the pine needled forest floor. The cabin is a simple one-story design, and looks awesome.
Solar Treehouse in Georgia
Monday, March 8th, 2010 |
This is technically a treehouse, but it’s greater than any treehouse I’ve ever seen. It has a 1,00 square-foot roof garden, domed skylights, composting toilets, and it’s built on a foundation made from recycled telephone poles. The best part of the treehouse is that its at Camp Twin Lakes, an area set aside from kids with special illnesses, disabilities and other types of challenges. What a wonderful design and idea.
Timber Home With Central Patio

This is another dream home. I don’t know if it’s the home itself, the patio, or the location, but it’s awesome. I even love the stairs down to the home!

Peaceful Lake House
Monday, October 19th, 2009 |
Just by looking at this peaceful lake house I feel more calm and relaxed. Imagine sitting at that table with a cup of coffee and a good book – nice… I’d prefer the interior to be a little less austere, but the location can’t be beat!
