14 Red-Hot Homes With Striking Scarlet Exteriors

The TED House by Onion Flats was the result of an international design competition sponsored by Syracuse University and a local non-profit developer. "The challenge was to design a modestly priced, environmentally thoughtful house on a narrow lot in an urban neighborhood, easily adaptable to other sites in the area, and for a budget of $150,000. Our proposal utilized a compact plan and a high performance envelope to reduce the energy demand by up to 90%," says the firm.
