Sushi-Inspired Dwellings

The California Roll House Makes Desert Living a Snap

— October 8, 2011 — Art & Design
Show your love for Japanese food by moving into the ultra-hip California Roll House. The sushi-inspired abode is the delicious work of architect Christopher Daniel. Created with the harsh climate of the desert in mind, this curvaceous house is loaded with the latest technological features designed to keep the house's occupants comfortable.

The outside of this tasty structure is made of an energy-efficient material that deflects sunlight. The transparency of the dwelling's large windows can be altered to allow less light in during the heat of the day, and increased to catch the last rays of the setting sun. The home's micro-climate keeps the temperature indoors nominal as the temperature fluctuates. The house can also be easily packed up and moved, so if the desert dwelling is just a passing fancy you can always up and move.

The California Roll House is still a concept, but the shocking beauty and intelligence of its design is sure to garner the attention it deserves.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Architecture - Incorporating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technology into architectural designs, such as the energy-efficient material and adjustable transparency of the California Roll House, presents an opportunity for sustainable and innovative housing solutions.
2. Flexible and Mobile Housing - Creating adaptable and transportable homes, like the California Roll House, satisfies the demand for easy-to-move housing and provides an opportunity for mobile and flexible living spaces.
3. Climate-controlled Living - Designing homes with micro-climate technology, as seen in the California Roll House, allows for year-round temperature comfort and presents an opportunity for climate-controlled living spaces.
Industry Implications

2. Real Estate - Real estate professionals can promote the benefits of climate-controlled and flexible living spaces through the development of innovative housing structures and designs, like the California Roll House.
3. Technology - Tech innovators can create and advance micro-climate and energy-efficient technology that can be incorporated in eco-friendly and sustainable architectural designs, like the California Roll House.
