V-Houses by Heinz Legler Offer Stunning Views Without Damaging the Land
Elsa Blaine — August 29, 2009 — Eco
Eco-adventurers visiting the jungles for Yelapa, Mexico will soon be able to find refuge in these precarious looking V-Houses designed by Heinz Legler. Securely planted in the ground, the inverted metal and wood pyramids give a feeling of being in a tree house.
Each of the pre-fabricated units has a floor space measuring 16' x 16' and offers spectacular views of the lush tropical jungle environment through openings on all sides.
Due to the shape of the shelters and their pre-fab construction, little disturbance of the land was required as they were more or less spiked into the ground like a giant lawn dart.
