The sexy itHouse is a design system created by L.A. based, Taalman Koch Architecture. The eco-friendly home is comprised of a series components manufactured off-site. The home, which is designed to be flat packed and easily shipped, is prefabricated to better control the construction waste, labor, and quality of the finished product.
Designed with glass walls and an open floor plan, (no neighbors, please) itHouse is intended to maximize the relationship of the occupant to the surrounding landscape while minimizing the home’s impact on the local ecosystem.
Passive heating and cooling, site orientation, cross ventilation, radiant floor heating, hi-efficacy appliances and the use of solar photovoltaic and thermal panels enhance the home’s energy efficiency and off-the-grid potential.

While I wouln’t want to be the one to wash all those windows, the view is unbelievable!
Okay, love the house, but it’s because of the lot. Plunk this down almost anywhere else and it would be far less spectacular. Or show me a photo proving me wrong…
Heated floor mats are a perfect solution to a chilly workplace or a cold room. These portable mats offer warm comfort to cold feet. Electric radiant floor heat mats are designed to warm tile and stone floors in bathrooms, kitchens and any other room that requires heating.
Most electric heating systems distribute heat by circulating warm air throughout a room, electric radiant heat takes a different approach. By warming surfaces to directly heat objects and, therefore, people in your home, this heating alternative is gaining popularity by the day.
Electric radiant floor heating serves many practical purposes including a lack of maintenance through durability, versatility in application, and energy efficiency, but perhaps its greatest appeal is that of comfort and well-being.
Wow!!! It’s really nice but thinking that it would take much time in cleaning the glasses. The view is really excellent.
The itHouse is styled and constructed very beautifully. I like the idea of glass wall and open floor plan. I would plan my dream home like this.
