Despite being constructed in 2006, the "Z6 Living Home" should be considered one of the most technologically advanced buildings of the twenty-first century. Obviously ones opinion of being technologically advanced varies making it rather difficult to defend. However, the Z6 Living Home takes residential homes to a new uncharted level of self-efficiency. This is achieved through six zeros, hence forth the Z6 name. The three zeros include, zero energy, zero water, zero waste, zero carbon, zero emissions, and, lastly, zero ignorance. These six zeros drove the design of this building to make it the most efficient as possible. Building Statistics This building needs to address many logistical factors to fulfill its six zero goal. This was made easier by the location of the building. This building was fortunate enough to be built in sunny California, Santa Monica to be more precise. This building rests upon the hillside in a well to do urban neighborhood and blends in by, well, more so by looking different compared to the other homes that are located within this urban neighborhood. Many people who have any knowledge within green building know that it is much easier to make a smaller space more environmentally friendly compared to a large space. Amazingly, the Ray Kappe and LivingHomes architecture groups were able to design this six zeros building successful at a relatively size, when compared to many other residential homes. The gross square footage, according to AIA top ten, is "2,480 square feet" (Z6 House | AIA Top Ten). Costing of this establishment on "Wisconsin terms," is quite shocking. It is tough to imagine building a roughly 2,500 square foot home for the price that has been estimated. When it is all said and done from conceptualizing to the completion of this home one may expect to have spent $1.25 million. This estimate comes from the architects who gave a presentation at Arizona State University. The architects estimate that the actual base home cost to be roughly $870,000 (LivingHome Model Home). Architectural Style With this building being some cutting edge it is difficult to confidently state the specific architectural style that it has been inspired by. However, this building was designed to be modular to reduce the carbon emissions during the construction process on site. This was so successful that according to AIA top ten, "The house is constructed of factory-built modules that were erected on the site-built foundation over a period of 13 hours (Z6 House | AIA Top Ten). This was further made possible by, "The structural slab-on
