Santa Monica-based LivingHomes has launched the C6.2, an affordable prefab house that is certified LEED Platinum. Previously, LivingHomes had introduced the C6, an affordable three-bedroom home, but the company rolled out this smaller version for homeowners who want a smaller and more energy-efficient option. The sleek, two-bedroom, two-bathroom home is a good fit for smaller infill lots common in cities or for eco-conscious homeowners who want to save on construction and installation costs.

Predicting food shortages in the 21st century, Zurich-based UrbanFarmers AG and Conceptual Devices have teamed up to produce plans for the Globe (Hedron), a geodesic greenhouse that rests on the top of flat roofs in urban areas. The dome, which is framed with bamboo, is designed as an aquaponics system that can grow both fish and vegetables. The load of the fish tank is hung on the greenhouse structure, allowing this aquaponic farm to be housed on a wider variety of roofs without any structural building adaptation. The greenhouse is designed to feed four families of four, year-round. The project has been entered in the 2012 Buckminster Fuller Challenge, and the designers are currently raising funds for it on IndieGoGo.
