As for the design of the house, it’s modular and flexible. Soleta is a modern structure with a design meant to increase functionality and comfort. The difference between this project and regular low-energy homes is that this one is more comfortable. Most such homes create discomfort for their inhabitants because of things like the over-insulated shell and the lack of interaction with the environment.
