WaterShed by University of Maryland at the 2011 Solar DecathlonThe WaterShed Solar Decathlon house, built by students from the University of Maryland, has taken first place in the design-build competition's architecture category! And we are not surprised. Ever since we set foot on the National Mall, where WaterShed is currently competing with 18 other eco-friendly prefab homes, we have been ogling the house's beautiful design, which was inspired by the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. WaterShed's design focuses heavily on water usage, incorporating constructed wetlands and a green roof that collects and filters the home's greywater so it can be reused.1
