London-based design firm Studio Bark unveils its upcoming plans to create the Breach House, which is a water-powered family home in the UK's Leicestershire. It is made to help homeowners integrate into living off the land with the help of the firm's photovoltaic panels and micro-hydro energy. The proposal features the new home with extensive landscaping and restoring an agricultural barn to optimize the site's streams and ponds.
