Houses on hardened lava

Alien landscape is always very popular. To visit as if on another planet is very interesting. This property of the human psyche took architect Craig Steele of San Francisco.

Its houses are built on the ground of cooled black lava in Hawaii. Property price several times higher - the cheapest house costs 250 thousand dollars. In 1955, there was poured Kilauea volcano, and now burnt to the ground almost nothing grows, and chunks of lava resemble another planet. Houses are willing to buy!












I understand that there are still many years, nothing will grow. I had to deliver the land to plant large trees, lawns do. But in the end everything turned out very carefully.








The idea was to privacy buildings. And many of them look lonely skeletons of human habitation on the background of desert habitats, well, for example, Mars?
