Ok so a cool $4 million ($US) isn’t quite what most people can afford for a house, but this place is really amazing and worth checking out just for the wow factor.

It’s the sort of house that both myself and my husband would love - me the green aspects and him the techy-gadgets. Although we wouldn’t need as much room or as many bathrooms.

The Wired Home is described as a modernist home in an exclusive enclave of Los Angeles that allows luxury and the environment to live together in harmony.

Sounds pretty cool huh?

The house is prefab to reduce cost and waste and installation takes only one day. It’s fully automated to allow for simplicity and control, filled with the latest gadgets, gear and appliances, yet still keeps kilowatt usage low.

The purpose of the house is to show how people can balance green living with high technology and design. Deconstruction of the previous house has just begun so check out the website to follow the house’s progress.
