This design is called the California Roll House. The curved surface of the house is extended across the ground, creating a paved surface that can be used for various outdoor activities. I found this design to be useful because of its shape, the material used and its versatility. The structure is made of prefabricated elements, easily assembled on site, the building is mobile and versatile. The materials provide energy efficiency, including reflecting heat from the sun. The glass panels are electronically controlled and react to changes of weather conditions by adjusting the level of transparency.
Underneath the entire structure is a carbon fibre truss frame, elevating it above the ground plane. The modularity of the house offers a customized positioning of openings. The residents choose placements of their windows.
