Earl’s Montesilo House is smart home is not overtly green, there’s no certification or anything like that, but the home has received recognition for it’s unique design. Located in Woodland, Utah, next to the Provo River, Earl’s Montesilo House was built with a south orientation to capture solar heat gain during the winter. During the summer, the second floor balcony acts as a sort of overhand to shade the interior. The 1800 sf home comprises two, linked, corrugated silos, and features what Gigaplex Architects call “bed-in-a-box;” the box has stereo sound and a flat screen monitor. Beautiful home and environment.
