Incredible Self-Sufficient Home

[oneh2obabe]

<snip> Among Garrido’s most astonishing designs is his 2011 project, Eye of Horus Eco-House; an enamoring, entirely self-sufficient home built on the Isla Playa de Cleopatra in Turkey that, when viewed from above, resembles the ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus, symbolizing protection and good health. The living area is contained entirely within the multi-level central dome that serves as the eye’s pupil. The dome is framed with steel and adorned with glass panels that allow light from the sun to illuminate the entire home. Special measures, such as tilted louvers, planned landscaping and sufficient ventilation, have been taken in order to mitigate any natural heating from a greenhouse effect. <snip>

Cool!

Now if it just paid its own mortgage too, it would be the perfect house.
