Designed by Scott Specht studio architecture Spect Harpman Architects, the “Zero House” is a prefabricated house of 200 square meters totally autonomous and environmentally friendly. The roof is made of solar panels that provides electricity so you don’t have to worry about electricity and the power is then stored in a battery backup. Once completely charged, the home can run efficiently for one week without a hint of sunlight. The roof and also includes a tank of rainwater harvesting over 10 cubic meters. The ground floor when it is equipped with a unit of waste composting. The rest of the house features energy saving design strategies including ample daylighting (led lights are used for artificial light requirements), incredibly energy efficient wall assemblies (r-58 in fact), triple glazed windows, and a compact design (reducing overall energy requirements). Initial studies indicate that the home will sell for around $350,000. - Via - Treehugger & Materialicio

The ZERO chaise is the metaphoric relationship of suspension under tension.The concept of weightless-ness is express in visual form, with its long extended base traveling as one continuous line. The seat trusts forward from the thin, 1″ thick polished steel base.A 2″x3″ polished steel tubular post seamlessly enters the backside of the seat, as the seat cushion continues to follow the 2″ profile line. The massive cant lever has been carefully engineered to make the seemingly impossible, possible.The chaise lounge also disassembles for shipping which further adds to the mystery behind its strength.- Found on Nolen Niu
