Modern minimalist green house is designed by Michelle Kaufmann and is located in northern California. Located on area 1,550 square feet making this house look smaller than other homes in this area, but Michelle Kaufmann has designed this house to feel bigger and comfortable.
In terms of sustainable design, the butterfly roof will provide a nice overhang with windows just below for natural ventilation. Solar panels will fit just right on the angled roof, while a rain water catchment garden will benefit from water collected at the fulcrum of the roof.
In addition, there will be smart insulation, high performance windows and systems, LED and CFL lights, Energy Star appliances, and a grey water system. The efficient design, when combined with the solar PV system, should make it a net zero energy home.
