Mercury House Two | Architecture and Vision
California City / United States / 2007

Proposing itself as a criticism against the waste of space and resources typical of the modern housing development industry, “MercuryHouseTwo” is a vertical, transportable, single-family house designed for customisable serial production. Nanotechnology glass coating allows regulation of radiation and takes advantage of heat energy; an inflatable automated greenhouse can be connected to the house helping to offset the daily food needs of the inhabitants while cleaning the home’s air and water.
