Logical Homes
The Logical Homes site is still in prelaunch mode. They have a photo up of a house that appears to be anything but logical. Apparently this is a prefab housing company that is trying to sell people on the idea of living in an aquarium. The two houses I saw pictured on different sites show glassed in boxes with flat roofs. The house on the prelaunch site had a huge overhanging roof with a square hole chopped into it to allow two palm trees to grow up through it.
I’m sorry, but I would not want to live in a fish bowl, even if it is prefab. A house is where you go to hide from the outside world, not a place to be on display to your neighbors. Perhaps a better name for this company would be Illogical Homes, or Human Aquarium Solutions. I can’t imagine anyone actually wanting to spend their lives in such glassed-in enclosures. It seems they are trying to start some kind of new trend in housing though. Perhaps it’s the novelty of using your home as a display case for your personal life they are trying to sell. For me, I like my brick house and keep the curtains drawn.
