  I find hard to believe this building could be any sustainable, first of all, if is in Mexico the only thing you don't want are those heat loads by a skyroof of that size, the building would be overheated and in need for huge cooling loads. You could argue that the glass would be super efficient and all, but the first rule of sustainable design is to reduce through design. Again this is a environmental blog and this architecture design do not belong in here maybe in a futuristic architecture blog.

  Interesting I wonder what permits would cost to build this if they would give you a permit

  This may prove that simple geometric shapes can be deployed , but can not prove marketplace demand which without it *nothing* gets actually built. Witness Geodesic domes , how long that design concept has been around ( ie:1950\'s by R.Buckminster Fuller ) and how few & sparsely distributed throughout the U.S. they are and yet have a more efficient form factor for structural stability ( as weight distribution of even heavy snows pose no threat ), frugal use of building materials as opposed to conventional box homes, and even distribution of interior heat. They never really caught on except for a few willing to think outside the box. So long as the empire of conventional thought ( and mass developers )rules this design is as headed for the same fate as the Geodesic dome and could only hope to aspire to the sale numbers of that dwelling design\'s success among the masses of the great unenlightened slaves to conventional thought.

  As a follower of the great master architect Frank Lloyd Wright I believe an architectural statement should blend with the environment. It should compliment its environment not contrast it. While the residence is conceived to let in light and provide views of the landscape, in my opinion, Mr. Ramos' design does not relate to the landscape of open fields and forrest groves, rather it sits in the middle of a field like some futuristic space vehicle waiting to depart for some distant galaxy. Besides, the pyramid concept has been done by I. M. Pei in the Palais du Louvre in Paris. Much more effectively, I might add.

  I love this idea. And thinking of building one for myself. Will it be able to load its own energy for electricity with sun panels
