ask the owners, don’t take the designers word.

I don't agree with the claim that it's sustainable just because it's energy efficient and uses some recycled materials. Still a cool house, though.

Looks like they forgot to take environmental responsibility beyond the building envelope... 98% turf? really? Stunning structure, disappointing landscape.
