The Grid House is making rounds on the Web, garnering attention for its visual appeal and unique construction. And for good reason, too. The home combines green technology and modern architecture, which results in a decidedly new structure sitting among history and tradition.
The Grid House was designed by Moto Design Shop and is located in the heart of Philadelphia, on Pine Street, on what used to be a landfill. The home is comprised of three levels, each grid-like squares with long, spacious windows that suffuse the rooms with plenty of natural light. The rooms roll into one another as spacious living quarters.
Some of the home’s more interesting specs include a rooftop garden spa and private yard, an automobile elevator (the garage is in the basement, below the home) and solar shades. Its completion marks a significant addition to Philadelphia’s modern homes.
