nice
when i build my home im getting a jap dude to design it the way they are able to use space is amazing
@harzan1 We`ve got “selfcleaning“ glass nowadays . ; ))
I wonder if BatMan knows where this penguin house is located!
I quess the problem with glass window is you have continue to clean it from time to time. (I mean any dirty/spot outside the glass).
Thats amazing
@lotwyo i wouldn’t call them prophets, but scientist. And they use numbers and values every single day to prove there is soon going to be a lack of basic resources in our planet. Maybe in 50 or 100 years there will be no more fuel, and that is very soon. We must start to think about new renewal technologies, and of course less contamination in the atmosphere. It’s completely stupid to think that people should buy what they can afford, as they are maybe damaging their own planet and other people.
Pure genious
@ChunkyLova53 There was a 9.0 Earthquake in japan 2 weeks ago lol…
@pdxeddie1111 wow. so weird that you said that “looks like earthquake would knock it over” scary stuff

240p, all right. Loving the high definition, Nat Geo!
Anyone know where I can watch the whole documentary? I watched this about 2 years ago but I’ve been wanting to watch it again ever since. Any help?
@earlymusicus People should be able to buy and build whatever they want and can afford. I hate these apocalypse prophets who try to preach how everyone else should run for the mountains, live without cars, without international travel (“just stay in your county exploring things you don’t know yet”) on vacations and so on. They are the prophets of boring life.
Are the plans available to purchase? I would love to build a replica in Canada, surrounded by tall trees. A wonderful design; genius
Bad place to be in in an major earthquake.

my tiny bungalow is one seventh the sq ft and at 130sq ft plus a 56 sq ft loft is roomy and cozy. Someday when I put it on 10 acres I will be the ruler of my own kingdom !
looks like earthquake would knock it over
This is one of my fav houses in the world! i got to visit it when i went to Japan!! only the outside of course, someone definitely lives there. i wish i could have one built to live in.
@looneypride this is an awesome house i went to visit it when i was in Japan. Tokyo is the most expensive city in the world, so it would cost way more than 80k. in the city i live in there is a house similar to it in a way and cost about 250k. its called the harpoon house.
Totally private yet totally light. A total delight!
America would be wise to adopt a downsizing mentality. We are so wasteful with our “gotta be big, bigger, biggest” mentality and it’s a mentality that will spell our doom on this finite planet with finite, dwindling resources. America will soon be left in the dark if we don’t grow up and start being more environmentally conscious. McMansions and Hummers are a sad commentary on our values system.
it’s mind bending..
