Through its desire to eliminate its impact on the landscape it has also alienated itself from it. Buildings should be at home in their landscapes as if they were truly a part of it. To me if I saw this in a natural setting it would look almost as offensive as a big water bottle or soda can. Its design has it looking similar to the pollution which we are trying to reduce. When it comes to the design of sustainable houses I vastly prefer something more hobbit hole-esque.
