  • Cornell Silo House
    Things really heated up this past few days as we inched closer to finding out who the winner of this year's Solar Decathlonwould be, and in the end Team Germany's surPLUShouse stole the show. We were sad to see that Cornell University’s Silo House did not place in the top 3, but we still love this totally unconventional and clever home which held steadfastly in the ranks as part of the top 10 throughout the week. As a compact modular structure, the Silo House proves that impressive green, energy-efficient things do come in small spaces!...<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/solar-decathlon-2009-cornell-silo-house/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
