The Barier house is a prefab shaped like an ovoid football (that's egg-shaped for you non-eggheads). It has great natural temperature control in its design, keeping cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It also floats, making it suitable for quick setup in flood zones, isn't subject to damage by earthquakes, and is resistant to snow damage. Naturally a dull metallic colour, it can be painted any shade you like, and the panels replaced with windows to give as much natural light as you want. Available now! [GT]
