What a waste of materials. Also, this design has no context as it is in a field of fake grass. Disappointing for this site to promote such garbage.

An architecture firm in Philadelphia, PA, USA has used a similar principal to allow natural daylight into a Philadelphia row home. They created a 3 level stair, well, with southern orientation, and a large window at the top, that brings light into all levels of the home. With a whole house fan above the window, this stair well all serves as a possage way for air to move throughout the home and allow hot air from all alevels to escape to the outside. It is really a progressive project that is expected achieve LEED Platinum. It’s for sale. And as their real estate agent, I encourage you to check it out by googleing "Montrose Green" or "Building Green on Montrose". This is awesome!
