The Orchid House

This is one of the houses from the Lower Mills Estates project, a sustainable development in the UK’s Cotswold water park. The inspiration for Orchid House comes from one of the indigenous flowers, the Bee Orchid. Like the camouflaged Bee Orchid, the Orchid house is designed to blend into the environment. Its main living spaces float over the water and it has an open glass front giving inhabitants an intimate experience with nature. More Info

These are so great! I want to live in the one in Cavallo, it’s so beautiful. Mediterranean style is definitely one of the most desirable - where’s the realtor for these places?.

I’m pretty sure the top photo is actually an art installation from New Harmony, Indiana. Unfortunately, it burned to the ground about a year or two ago. I don’t have the artist’s name, but I could get for you if you wish.

Thanks for including Falling Water. It’s nice to be reminded that being green isn’t a new idea!
