    If you believe that only renowned architects and interior designers can shape out an exceptional eco-friendly structure then you need to reconsider your view. The beautifully green house that you see in the image above has been designed by a team of students at Taliesin West. Teaming up with Jennifer Siegal and Victor Sidy, they have put up this outstanding house for a school project. Mod.fab has been designed for a sustainable lifestyle in a desert but without compromising on style. Spread over 600-sq.-ft., this one-bedroom house features paneled construction that allows for off-site assembly. Such a system is easy on our pockets as well as our planet. It also packs innovative eco-friendly features like low-consumption fixtures, rainwater harvesting technologies, greywater recycling, natural ventilation, solar orientation, and photovoltaics to reduce energy and water use.


    This unplugged concept helps to reduce the dwellers’ carbon footprints without eliminating style. If you intend to take a
    peek at this Mod.fab house then rush to student-led Taliesin West Desert Shelter Tour as it is on display till April 25.
