I saw this at the now [sadly] defunct blog, Mad Architect. I’m not so sure where I stand on this conceptual home. It’s not very me, but it’s very offbeat. For one thing, it looks shootable – as in point and shoot and zap your enemies.

The Reboot House has got some other cool points too. Like wind turbines, solar cell paint, rainwater use, and remote controls.

I keep thinking, if you happen to be a skateboarder, this might be the roof for you. Don’t you think? This home, off the southeast coast of Tasmania, was designed by the very hip 1 + 2 Architecture. According to Dwell, this home’s roof is actually making use of solar panels – slanted to absorb the best of the sunshine. Rain water collection, small size, bath and kitchen waste reuse (in the garden), and native landscaping are some of this home’s green perks. Of course, it’s a beautiful home to boot.

So since I recently found my new favorite real estate website we’re going to have to visit at least once in a while. Or at least until we all our own great green abodes.
My green picks of the week include:
This Off-Grid Solar Mountain Retreat Dome Home in Saguache, Colorado. Domes already have that unique flavor going for them. This one is extra special due to that cool offset doorway. Very slick. Plus, I do like the color, which seems to have been kept natural, yet looks sort of orange.

Yesterday I posted, “Why I don’t mess around on Flickr” and then, although I said I would, I forgot to show the last two structures I found on there. Darn me anyhow.
Besides the cool finds yesterday I also found this great little converted grain silo. Love it.

And I found this, which seems like something I’d have seen, and yet, no. I love how it looks like the sections are moving, or could be twirled. If you had a few beers and walked under this one, things might get kooky.

Green Homes for Sale! This site rocks. Of course, I can see myself spending WAY too much time browsing and dreaming at the site, but it might be worth it. Some of the homes featured are amazing. Many are a little off the beaten path; both literally and figuratively. I’m actually considering buying a home next year, so maybe I’ll find my house (right – many are a little bit costly). Still I gathered some nice choice homes up for you, just in case you’ve got some spare cash and a love of green hanging around.
