I love this house! The eco-chic “ness” of the green design make it that much more appealing. It’s like this guilt free pleasure in knowing that it is living in harmony with nature. I write an eco-blog at http://www.planetpinkngreen where I live much of my life reporting on inspiring people, places and things that are working to make a difference on this planet and be conscious about it. I have been filming some eco-chic design episodes around my city, Portland, Oregon and have them posted on my blog. I love contributing to global healing. I will be in Spain again one day reporting on eco-fabulous stories like yours. Keep up the good work!! Cheryl Janis

“…especially for Spanish standards. Most buildings there are totally tasteless.”

…tasteless coment I must say. Spanish houses are a “must learn” for a lot of us.

This is amazing! I wonder how scalable this is though. I’m always fascinated by these examples of green architecture, but I’m also convinced that such solutions should be built to adapt to the uraban landscape, where they can have the highest positive impact. Well done anyway!

Many years ago us Greenpeace supporters were beguiled, it is now so pleasing to see respect for the planet / future life sending it’s tendrils into all walks of life and through such an inspiring / flexible media. Long live the internet, long live the green movement, long live the green movers. What a beautifuly simple and harmonious design, shame it wasn’t bow shaped for a better vista.

This is indeed a very nice house, especially for Spanish standards. Most buildings there are totally tasteless. But, Cate, you got to tell me, whats a Euro context? (I’m european, maybe I don’t know it because I live in it? ) The same as Asian products getting the label European design and therefor doubling the amount sold.

What a beautiful project. Reminds me both of Johnson’s Glass House in CT with that simple, sleek glass facade, but then that beautiful progression up through the house towards the recessed courtyard and then green roof observation deck seems to resemble Corb’s Villa Savoye.
