• The Flying Nun habit of the roof line + the raised deck footings = a niche-in-nature-landing-pad.

• That's obscene. Flying 30 hours (and one presumes business class from the context), repeatedly, to reach a SECOND home on the other side of the world is the epitome of unsustainability. And that home itself is hardly small, and no doubt involves a lot of driving for logistical support. The amount of embedded energy and ecological damage in that house is huge, and they built it for occasional use. Who gives a fig whether they have solar panels on that home? Or whether they use rainwater? The whole thing is freakin' planet-killing lifestyle, morally bankrupt and completely without justification. Dwell should be doing better than this by now.

• I agree with Whatever.......another millionaire project ......when will Dwell learn everybody who subscribes isn't wealthy?????????? My ideal in a company who believes in good design but understands most people aren't wealthy is IKEA ......you could learn a lot from them .......but you won't because you'r all from the monied class in Stupid Francisco!!!!!!!!!!

• Did the sunny "clearing" for the shipping containered photo-voltaic cells already exist or as usual was it part of the development? Ecologically sustainable embedded design principles don't just stop at the DWELLing and its associated infrastructure. Looks to me from the foreground that they pretty much nuked the site..its a pity a lot of people who turn up in this country don't really get its fragile environment...

• It's true that Dwell can be shallow in it's reporting and showing of a project. There is so much lacking by not showing materials and manufacturers, plans, sections, elevations etc. But would such depth sell to the average buyer at the supermarket checkout stand? We are all inspired by the amazing houses with lots of glass, but they happen to cost a lot of money. Glass is not efficient by the way, but it connects us to nature and is a major ingredient in a modern home. We have to face the fact that a magazine like Dwell would have not be published it it did not jump off the shelf and did not have advertisers of expensive products. The biggest criticism I have is that there are so few pictures for each project. Dwell is put to shame by all the architecture blogs out there like ArchDaily. Why not a DwellDaily?

• Great inspiration, obviously not practical, but I don't subscribe to a catalog.
