Most every house is going to have a foundation, maybe a frame, walls, a roof, water and power systems and maybe a deck.

What sets this house apart is that most of those things are there, but they are either super-efficient or low/no-maintenance, or both.

I'm including Hummingbird Central as one of the outside technologies. You can regard it as entertainment technology. Or, if you're a helicopter pilot, you can just watch with total envy, as Nature outdoes your pathetic hovering machine.
