The Timber House - of the Future

The Timber House is an interesting concept from Houses of the Future.

The Timber House uses timbers and timber-fiber products to create a home that blends well with a natural environment in both form and practicality.

Eco-friendly design is incorporated throughout the home from its integrated water management system to the solar power system that runs through the house (red streak in the picture at right).

In addition to being stylish and decidedly green, the Timber House is pre-manufactured and assembled on site using relatively low-tech methods and requiring little skilled labor.

I hope we see these catch on. Imagine a neighborhood made of these.
