Midcentury Modern Gingerbread House

by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 11. 1.07
Design & Architecture (prefab)

2007-10-31_ghouse1.jpg

There, now that we have Halloween out of the way we can start concentrating on the next three events on the schedule, one of which is Buy Nothing Day. If you are planning way ahead you can order this charming butterfly roofed modernist wonder, complete with garage and rock garden. Since it is such an important indicator of the value of real estate, at $88 bucks we calculate this to cost $176 per square foot, which is pretty cheap for good modern design. Like many prefabs, delivery is extra. Gingerbread as a structural and cladding material is completely biodegradeable for LEED points (as is the xeriscaped garden) and compostable for C2C certification. ::Red Envelope via ::notcot

I'm the one who posted it on notcot.
And yes, it's 100% edible and can also be personalized.
