I fell in love with the Icelandic history and culture a few years ago. Now, I have discovered a beautiful combination of the two. Thank-You Lindal Homes! I have always loved the A-frame design.

Why place a rendering of a building that claims to be sustainable on top of an incredibly manicured lawn- an icon of the unsustainable suburban landscape? It's like if McDonalds dediced to sell a McVeganburger and served it on a plateful of McRibs, or like driving a hybrid Hummer over desert turtles, or like so many bandwagon green schemes. Maybe these houses weren't meant to sustain the environment as much as Lindal's profits. What’s up with that lawn in the first image?

Although it helps that they are somewhat green (but could be more so, with LEED certification), they are quite expensive. This has kept Lindal to mostly the vacation home market where a pre-cut lumber package is delivered to a remote site, often in the mountains with a limited building season. Then homeowners can build it themselves to save on labor. Otherwise Lindal homes cost much more than average. I’m glad to see that Lindal has added some nice modern designs to their line of homes.
