Madrid team members celebrate their third place award

Universidad Politécnica de Madrid team members celebrate their third place award in the architectural portion of the 2007 Solar Decathlon on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 15.

This house has a lot of poetry to it. The exterior green door/wall is a terrific innovation and whimsical at the same time. The house feels like an exploration that is still in progress. The team made a terrific effort to consider the human aspect of the house. The pitched roof makes for an interesting space and the long linear space makes the house feel larger than it is.
