Could This Be The Greenest House
Iceland would probably normally not be the first choice for someone to set up home, yet this country has some very unique and natural qualities that make Iceland an interesting place to set up home. Take this house designed by Studio Granada Architects who have used salvaged materials from around the site to build the Hof House.
This building literally blends into the countryside, the builder have used old telegraph poles, basalt pillars, grass on the roof geothermal heating and passive solar heating. It is incredible to think that this building lies just outside the Arctic Circle. However, the clever use of geothermal heating means that the heat flows through the stone floors and any excess provides some of the electrical power.
