	The D Haus designed by David Ben Grunberg and Daniel Woolfson http://www.thedhaus.com/architecture/ It was originally designed for Lapland, Finland. It is movable and can follow the sun around. __________________ How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life. --CAPTAIN KIRK, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

	Looks very ingenious but this is not a new idea. I have seen this idea done in the rural southern United States with an old mobile home, tractor, and a couple of expando or pop out rooms. __________________ How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life. --CAPTAIN KIRK, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
