Designed to be used both as a stand alone house and as part of a multiple dwellings, the Dice House is a zero carbon home measuring 9 x 9 x 9 meters that draws on the form of a cube. The structure sits on an octagonal plinth set back from the façade of the house to reveal the curious cube shape of the building. Generous glazing and openings break front and rear facades maximizing access to and from the house also providing a panoramic view around. The grass roof atop a large thermoplastic ETFE pillow shaped ‘Umbrella’ acts as an architectural cap as well as an openable greenhouse space which strongly defines the three floor levels binding them into one symmetric whole.
