Design Reality
Unlike many design competitions the C2C Home design and construction competition results in actual home construction. This years winner by Coates Design shows not only some really wonderful innovation in the building itself but also uses the landscaping as a key feature of the over-all design. As a huge fan of modern green friendly design, the integration of indoor and outdoor living in this years winner was particularly interesting to me. My favorite feature of the house is the use of a grid to create an almost pixel like pattern in the patio landscape. The entire design is really revolutionary in it’s thinking both on a design and environmental level so check it out.
