December 24th, 2009 - Posted in Green Home, Home Design Ideas, Sustainable Home Design
This house is integrating the smooth curved lines of an Australian boomerang with a custom “sunrise design” wood post & beam patio structure. it is 1000 sq ft of art and architecture and located in Tilaran, Costa Rica.
Boomerang House is built to a structural resistance of 8.0 on the Richter scale. it is consist of one of many unique architectural features in the custom designed home.The designer combines a copper standing seam roof with a living grass roof and walls. Designer Jean Paul Cazedessus explains that he strives for this in all of his projects. He said that if one considers the possibility of sever earthquakes around the Pacific Ocean Rim and is building homes in this area, he feels we should build for survivability, and especially in 1-2 story homes, as that we can do it competitively in price.
Cazedessus can blend the rustic modernism. “Thomas Jefferson” style auto French doors, operable glass block ventilation windows, and a glass block doorway in the shower work seamlessly in this design. via b-green.org
