Welcome to the Jungle House

In the Australian suburb of Darlington, you’ll find a home that’s ultra sustainable while retaining its sleek, modern aesthetic.

Welcome to the Jungle House — a truly unique home that leaves a small ecological footprint by recycling water, generating and storing power and allowing you to grow your own produce.

Take a look into this revolutionary environmentally-friendly, one-of-a-kind home.

The roof of this home is made up of steel planter beds to grow any and all produce you wish and is irrigated from a fishpond filled with edible silver perch. Think of all the money you’d save on groceries living in this remarkable 21st century home.

Unlike traditional homes with standard brick and mortar exteriors and insulation, this home takes things a step further by retaining the historic masonry facade and then adding a glass “skin.” Between the two layers hang plants to give the illusion of a jungle.

The home isn’t afraid to play with colors, evidenced by this colorful, multi-paned wall on the ground floor.

Gone are the conventional windows — in their place are mini walls that push out to allow in fresh air and light.

Even the bathrooms have a modern twist. From the slated glass panel letting in natural light to the unusual shape of the shower and even to the wooden floor, it continues the same funky modern feel that blankets the rest of the home.

The nearly 2,000-square-foot home was the brainchild of CplusC Architectural Workshop. It acts as a billboard for sustainable living — a practice that CplusC believes should be explored further in Australia and beyond.
