The pix above are from a set of 15. The location is not identified, but Babelfish yields a title for the piece as "City of the sun," and I found these comments in the discussion thread:
Latvian millionaire realized in the environments of the city Of [tsesis] of Latvia fantastic project.The houses obviously can be seen from other houses, so there may be other inaccuracies in the comment. But I wonder if this is a Latvian development. I'm impressed.
After redeeming 3000 GA of forest in the hilly ground, it constructed “the city of the sun”, where special rules act and people conduct entirely different order of life.
First, three-storied houses from the ecologically clean materials are built thus taking into account area relief, that from the windows of each separate house are not visible other houses.
In the second place, near each of 300 houses is a small lake and a forest, which enter into the cost of section (from 0,4 to 1,3 GA each).
Thirdly, all houses are equipped with the central canalization (laid special-technology under the roots of pine trees and fir trees!), by the high-speed Internet, by electric power, and in each house there is a geothermal heat pump with the bore hole of 90-100[m], which converts energy of the earth into the heat-energy. Of this heat-energy it is the year round sufficient for the heating of house and preheating of hot water.
Update: It is Latvia. Photo credit and more info here.
The houses can be seen, but it says that the windows are positioned so that you can't see directly into another house.
ReplyDeleteBarbwire is correct; I think the translation would more accurately have been "overlooking."
