Lovegrove Studios, a futuristic design firm has created a design for a new sort of house. These pop up everywhere, but its still interesting when you see a cool one. They call theirs the “Cloud Gate”. It is in the shape of a huge capsule. The outside is reflective, almost like a huge mirror, designed to “blend in with nature”. It is powered by solar panels and wind turbine. While it is not some killer apartment with a studio, I think the idea of a house like this is cool. However, it is intensely futuristc. Think about it, what if everyone had a house that was a mirror… the world would become a mighty disorienting place. “Lovegrove says, ‘It’s not as synthetic as you think. It doesn’t really interfere with nature, it just actually reflects and compliments it. You probably won’t even see it.’”
