Design way out of reach
Budding NYC design darling Victor Vetterlein just unveiled his Reboot concept house over on Dezeen. The structure is completely self-sufficient, complete with solar panels, on-site wind turbines, and a special rooftop drain for collecting (and then recycling) rainwater. You can even control the building's precise internal temperature remotely from a cell phone or computer. All of which means it'll never be built, but should Wes Anderson ever direct a sci-fi film, now he knows who to call to make the set.

Honestly from the rendering I thought this was going to be a report on a new-fangled toilet.

Never be built?! A smart and original design such as Victors' could well be built and even on a wide scale. It can b the prototype of a smarter future. One note though, it looks like a giant toilet-seat, unless the designer did it on purpose a few curves and turns should be remodeled.
