Bio-Architecture: Cork Passive Solar House

This is a worthy FLW successor...

There is hope for the future of architecture!

built from natural materials (air-concrete), with cork facade!

using a thermal (convection/radiation) wall behind windows (on picture) for passive heating/cooling.

natural shelter, quiet house!

with a natural swimming pool, with rubber lining, cleaned by plants!

wow!
