The Ethereum House is a conceptual mansion nested on a desert cliff, overlooking the scenery. The simple but striking design is divided into two main parts: a monolithic base containing most of the functional spaces and the concrete roof - inspired from the works of John Lautner - which resembles the Ethereum silhouette.
