This awesome plastic roof house by Mitchell and Stout Architects is actually a three-in-one New Zealand house design that incorporates a house, an apartment and a studio, all within its walls. While these individual accommodations share a facade and common areas, they are each a separate and self-sufficient space, with its own distinctive style. The precast concrete walls are a cool complement to the plastic roof, shaped like a sail – a nice complement to the beach and harbor views here in Aukland. Interiors are eclectic, with a blend of modern elements like the concrete walls, to the warm wood floors and exposed wood beams. And for something every modern home should have – doing its part to keep the Earth clean and green, this sustainable house is equipped with passive solar panels and a rainwater-recycling system.
