The Dragspelhuset Accordion House
Posted by Big Gav in green buildings, sweden
Green building of the week from Inhabitat is this strange looking Swedish cabin - SPOOKY ECO HOUSE: The Dragspelhuset Accordion House.
While this cabin looks spookily lizard-like, its unusual structure was created in response to Swedish environmental building regulations. The solar-powered off-grid cabin is owned and designed by Maartje Lammers and Boris Zeisser of 24H Architecture as a family summer vacation retreat in southern Sweden’s Glaskogen nature reserve. The locals of the lakeside area affectionately call the house “Dragspelhuset,” or Accordion House because a room of the house is capable of extending outwards over the nearby stream.
