What really matters when we started to decide planning the house design for our future home? Well maybe you may mention about comfort, sustainability and elegance. Yes these are the three most important factors to consider when choosing the best dream home design. I personally choose to have a house with high energy efficiency and Eco-friendliness.

Yes, that is why today I am going to share to you one of the best house design that features extreme energy efficiency with Eco-friendly features. This house is situated in Jakarta Indonesia. With an area of 296.0 square meters, this house is completed successfully in the year 2013. Popularly it is known as the Lumber Shaped-Box House and was built in a modern spirit with strong geometrical elements. Well, let us check the secrets behind its name through the selected images photographed by Fietter Chalim below.

Low consumption of energy is achieved in this space with the help of the floor-to-ceilings glassed wall set in the first level of the house.
