Sarah Featherstone’s modern green house was sold for a record-breaking £7.2million, or $14.2million USD!

The home is known as Orchid House and is one of the key homes on Lower Mill Estate which is a project to turn a disused gravel pit into a beautiful nature reserve.

The building aims to generate more energy than it consumes, by making use of geothermal heating. The house it is very flexible so can be adapted to any occasion: a family holiday or a large reception.

The inspiration for the form of this gorgeous house comes from the flora and fauna on the estate.

Brad Pitt and Kylie Minogue expressed an interest so far buying this house but the buyer remains anonymous.

We may have to wait until 2011 to find out who he is, when the house will be completed.

I’m sorry: I don’t see how “Extravagance to the brink of obscenity” passes for “green”. This home defines a kind of “pollution” other than just environmental. I don’t see how building and possessing such a structure contributes to the well-being of the planet. It gives “green architecture” a bad name.
