Houses generally are not sustainable buildings. They need to be completely climate controlled, are almost always completely built-in to the land they occupy, and are expensive.

Sustainable residences are necessary to ensure future development, but "sustainable housing" often makes ordinary families turn the other way. The solution is a sustainable residence that doesn't feel inherently sustainable.

Featuring three modules that can be prefabricated and moved on site, this 2,500 sqft residence disrupts very little of the surrounding environment and relies largely off of good old-fashioned air circulation for climate control. 

The modules are separated into different living conditions to better transition from living to sleeping. Module 3 is entertainment space, module 2 is living space and a transition to module 1 which is a private sleeping space. Without needing to build a slab foundation, this residence also relies off of columns to support the floor and elevate it above ground level.

The Japanese-style shoji doors and windows allow the resident to open as much wall space as possible to let in fresh air and circulation into the house, while the courtyard ensures that there is no stagnant part of the house.
