We like the clean, modernist design aesthetic of GreenSource magazine's July 2009 "Best Green House". The house was built by students of Taliesin, the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture in Scottsdale, AZ. Taliesin Dean, Victor Sidy, describes the school's philosophy as based on Frank Lloyd Wright's "constant inquiry of the relationship between man and nature.”
The 600 square foot, 13 foot-wide "Mod.Fab." house incorporates modern style with the goal of minimal impact on natural surroundings. The steel-chassis structure is designed for mass-production. However, unlike the typical pre-fabricated home, this house utilizes photovoltaic solar technology and a roof designed to channel rainwater to a cistern, as well as Wolf/Subzero appliances and Milgard sliding glass doors for a feeling of compact luxury.
