Nowadays one of the best ideas for design and architecture are inspired from “greenery”. The mankind has realized that we have no choice than to start building structures that are environmental-friendly. If you were thinking that it will be hard to bring cool ideas you were wrong because green could provide cool and futuristic features.

Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture came up with the Passive Houses which they will unveil them at the Hem&Villa fair in Malmo, Sweden. These houses are made of massive walls meant to keep warm and windows that will distribute the heat all around the house. This technique was inspired from the native Americans who used it a few centuries ago.

The house that we bring you today was called Villa Atrium and it consists of a donut-like building and in the yard you will find a beautiful tree. The design of the Passive Homes combines the old with the modern in a very nice way and I expect them to become very popular among the house-builders.
