Tenerife is known for its wind - whether you're into kite boarding or a wind farming - so this amazing home set right next to a wind park had to take gusty breezes into consideration. Designed by Ruiz Larrea and Associates, the Bioclimatic House is surrounded by a circular wall and covered on top with a gorgeous living roof. Natural ventilation, daylighting, and passive design all work to protect the house from the elements and keep the indoor climate comfortable despite the warm temperatures and the wind. Sustainable materials and native vegetation complete this terrific home - read on for a look inside!
