This unusual private home is built in Austin, Texas, USA and designed by Bercy Chen Studio.
This splendid contemporary design with jagged lines and glass walls is set in a scenic area along the banks of the Colorado River.
The unusual private house is located underground, thus using a lot of land in order to maintain thermal comfort throughout the year. This architectural installation allows for maximum energy efficiency combined with high performance hot water heating and cooling systems..
The Floriculture Center has partnered with homeowners to help protect the local ecosystem and plant over 40 varieties of plants and wildflowers in the green roof home.
