This is green California house design, named Caterpillar House designed by Feldman Architecture. This house has a deep connection with nature, this ranch-style house stretches along a grassy hilltop in linear plans that maximize the views.

The glass-enclosed main floor invites natural light and views in, while just outside, a sheltered outdoor entertaining area lets the homeowners enjoy the outdoors in any weather.

This sustainable house employs eco-friendly features like its rammed-earth walls, which act as a thermal layer to maintain comfortable temperatures inside; a rainwater recycling system; natural ventilation via the glass wall of the house; and photovoltaic panels that allow this passive solar home to operate off the grid.
