Eco Factor: Sustainable house with a hull-like structure covered by vegetation.
Designed by Paris-based architect Patrick Nadeau, the La Maison-Vague is a plant-covered hump house being developed in Reims, France. The undulating wooden house features a hull-like structure covered with vegetation, which is used especially for thermal insulation.
The earth and plants on top protect the inhabitants from summer heat and winter cold. Resting beneath a wave of vegetation, the garden house is surrounded by a sort of wide wooden bench. A means of automatic mist irrigation, featuring a water recuperation system has also been conceived for the house.
