“The house is both beautiful and very functional,”
These words from the article describe where you will find the fundamental difference between this gorgeous home and the Living Homes designs witch it resembles or for most of the modern prefab designs.In The Margarido House you have rooms with “real” walls that provides privacy inside any of it’s rooms that you do not seem to have from what i have seen out of the Living Homes design,witch have very thin walls and a sliding door as a mean to form a room.
CONGRATULATIONS to Mr.McDonald and his wife for a job well done!!
Roccio Romero you got a challenge!!
Are the plans for this MASTERPIECE of a home available for sale?

I really like it. I agree it’s a big house but it beats a Mac-Mansion any day of the year.

This area of CA does not require central heat or a/c.
I agree with the 1st poster’s comments.

IT’S BEAUTIFUL, BUT EVEN WITH ALL THE ENERGY SAVINGS AND OTHER “GREEN” FEATURES, WHY ARE WE STILL CALLING A 4600SF SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE “SUSTAINABLE”? IF EVERYONE ON THE PLANET LIVED IN A HOUSE LIKE THIS, … WELL, YOU CAN’T HAVE EVERYONE LIVING IN A HOUSE LIKE THIS. SO WHAT’S SUSTAINABLE ABOUT THIS KIND OF LIFESTYLE?
