We’ve seen a lot of unconventional homes in our days, and with the internet being a ripe place for inspiration, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when the trend spreads far and wide. This couple from Vancouver, Walker and Heather, bring their own entry to the table.

Calling oneself a “nature lover” is quite a lot more common than you think, and that title can mean one of many things to a lot of folks. To Walker, it means taking your cue from growing, living things when it comes to building a home.

Real houses have curves.

That distinctive, curving roof is what makes Walker and Heather’s house look alive. If you’ve got keen eyes, you might notice that it fits the Fibonacci curve, or the golden ratio. That’s no coincidence!

Walker was set on incorporating that famous spiral ratio into his home, and he made sure to let his architect know. Very few things in nature are straight lines, and Walker took this into consideration.

The curves on his roof make his house feel like something that’d occur in nature, and I’d say he did a splendid job of just that.

Given that being close to nature was the idea from the start, Heather made it a point to keep the outdoors visible at all times. Hence, the large windows and wide doorways.

Walker also turned to flowers as his major source of inspiration. They way they soak up the sun, leave little impact on the area, and make good use of whatever nature throws at them was just too clever to pass up for him.

Don’t worry, the house is made of 100% recycled materials. It’d have been strange if it wasn’t, given Walker and Heather’s entire goal.

Things get really pretty when you walk inside, though.

Remember that sweet, curving roof that Walker asked for? The ceiling for it looks just as gorgeous. Dare I say, it even looks better than the outside. Lining those smooth, Fibonacci curves are old oak planks. The second floor must be a joy to live on. Their daughter certainly thinks so, according to Walker.

“She jumped up there the very first day we were here. The very first thing that we put in was her futon.”

This house isn’t just here to look pretty. It’s also here as Walker’s little love note to the planet.

Everything from the recycled materials, to the natural curves and the composting toilet is there to have as little impact on the environment as possible.

Climate change may be a gloomy, upsetting topic, but it’s a reality. Walker and his family want more people to follow suit and go the eco-friendly way. If you’re going to live and make a mark on this planet, it’d better be a good one.

And I’d say they very well succeeded at just that, while making it look cool too.

Eco-architecture may very well become the next big thing, and Walker and Heather will be grinning ear to ear when it catches on.

Walker and Heather’s house is a spectacular demonstration of non-wasteful, creative and practical living. Everything from the use of space, to the building materials used is all about efficiency. Give it a good, long look yourself in the video down below.
