The website is a great PR tool for the developers and while it might seem transparent there is something they are not putting out there in daylight. Namely that the first house might have all the green things going for it but they have truly messed up the design. A lack of eye for detail seems to be their problem. They claim it looks just like the rendering they posted on their website earlier. Anyone but the myopic will disagree. Look it up and see what a different building they created. Not so much a contemporary house as a bunker. What promised to be a Toyota has turned out to be a Trabant. A silk purse became a pig's ear. Tragic. If green is to take off then all the aspects of design have to be attended to....as Mies van der Rohe said, "God is in the details." No wonder they had to add the extra land to sell it.
