Nature vs. Construction... no more

Every structure that is built, whether it a house, office or school first involves mowing down a bunch of trees.

Everybody knows this, but hey what else can be done?

This...




Yes, that is a house built AROUND the tree's that were currently there.

I know what you're thinking... "Sure they saved some trees around the edges of the house, but they obviously mowed down the ones for the base of the house".

WRONG

OnDesign & Partners created a house wedged in between the natural structures of the Earth.  The narrow house consists of numerous levels so that the house expands vertically instead of horizontally. 
Now yes this severely limits the freedoms of consumers to build their dream house, but hey it's saving the Earth.
The design resembles Frank Loyd-Wright's ideals in architecture to build around nature instead of on top of nature.  More innovated houses like this should be developed in the future to not only help protect the Earth, but to challenge the architecture aesthetic. 
I mean look how cool the inside of this house is....
