Along with beauty, architect Philippe Stark injects a little fun into this eco-tech design.

One charming and novel idea is a shallow water feature that does not require the water use of a full pool.

The shallow water has the same cooling effect on a hot day.

Starck and Riko have collaborated on energy efficient and self-powering prefabricated home designs in the P.A.T.H. project.

Its state-of-the-art eco tech roof is part cooling greenroof and part solar panels.

The solar array is raised up off the roof allowing air to flow under the panels to cool them making them more efficient.

Riko is one of the leading European manufacturers of wooden sustainable prefab buildings and the homes are built using state of the art prefab techniques.

The very precise building process minimizes the possibilities of mistakes during the construction process.

Cutting edge ecological solutions combine with timeless design for a high tech and classic outlook.

The level of fine quality in the detailing and finish is remarkable.

Retractable awnings are precisely engineered into the space between the floors.

Prefabrication reduces waste, cuts construction time, and lowers costs.

This translates into both time and money savings for the homeowners.

The result is poetic, rebellious and definitely beautiful.
