Australia's First Pre-Fab House Produces More Energy Than It Consumes

• http://www.trueactivist.com

Behold, Australias first carbon-positive pre-fabricated home, which is packed with a number of eco-friendly features and is absolutely gorgeous.

The contemporary and cozy house was unveiled to the world last week by the Australian architecture firm ArchiBlox. Filled with light from the many windows and a solar panel top, the Archi + Carbon Positive House is designed to produce more energy than its uses. 

The abode, which is expected to offer the same environmental benefits as 6,095 Australian trees in its lifespan, is sealed with an airtight 800-square-foot structure that locks in cool air and keeps Australia's intense heat out, reports Dezeen.

The Archi + Carbon Positive House is presently on display in Melbourne's City Square.

"These homes will give our clients the opportunity to rid themselves of modern day lifelines in a house that has been developed through a collaboration of design sensitivities and new technologies with like-minded companies," the architects said.
