I've seen photos of houses with greenhouses, apartments with an atriium, but this Sustainable Living design from Stuart W. Rose, Ph.D. is perfect.
Imagine...our plants indoors right beside our living spaces.

From his website: http://www.gardenatriums.com/

Beats the heck out of trying to heat a tacked-on greenhouse...

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Here is a good and green home. Any shape a person can think of. Sorry no palms. 😡

Very clever and talented people, Aaron.
Looks beautiful, and how satisfying that must be.

The only thing missing is a big skylight...and palms.

Thanks for posting that video! 😀
