Solus, in conjunction with Vancouver's Eastside Design has submitted its entry in the 2nd Annual Gingerbread Competition and Charity auction put on by Creative Room.
Solus/Eastside Design's entry, Earthship Lollipop, is the world's first LEAD™ (Leadership in Edible Architectural Design) Platinum residence. Inspired by "Garbage Warrior" Michael Reynolds, the Lollipop is a West Coast modern interpretation of these highly sustainable (and delicious) homes. Combining old school wisdom and high tech convenience, the Earthship Lollipop features a rammed-icing English Mint wall with high Cocoa-mass qualities to mitigate sweet-loss, Italian-style breadstick post and beam construction and the latest in solar-gain reducing (and weight-gain promoting) gum-paste roof membrane. Though the house is fueled by high-fructose corn-syrup, the organic (sugar glass) solar panels and windmill can provide supplementary energy, if eaten. The house materials are 100% locally sourced and bio-digestible.
